Yarn and OS/2 Merlin Voice Navigation. Brilliant!

I've recently got the voice stuff installed in OS/2 Merlin and it works
so well with Yarn. I say 'Read' and Yarn pops up. I can navigate
by saying 'down' and 'space' etc., and the really neat feature is that you
can define macros for words - so if I say 'follow up' FTE opens up
ready for me to write the reply. 'Read' (pronounced as 'red') will
mark all messages in a group as read. If I say 'News' my machine logs
onto the internet and downloads all news and mail etc..
Lines: 9

OK, I know a couple of keystrokes are all it takes, but this is fun!
It isn't necessarily natural to communicate with a hand on mouse or
keyboard speech is just as valid.

Alright, I'm excited. Humour me!!
