[BRLTTY] brltty and the dialog package

Dave,

I ran 
Export DIALOGOPT='--visit-items'

Now when I try tabbing into the list, speakup reads the list more correctly, but the Braille does not follow the speech as far as I can tell.

I will try to put together a test script to post to the list so others can see what I am doing.

--visit-items allows you to tab onto the list, so it should track the 
selection. How did you specify --visit-items? Did you modify the script, change 
dialog's user or system rc file, or what?
