You must supply the MENU option in order to attach a menu to a shell.

Consult your manual for further details.

  I've had VoRecOne for several years.  I've been able to get it to do alot.
It takes alot of work.  Recognition decreases with an increased number of
words or phrases.  I've set up standard recognition units, for numbers,
screen and window manipulation, and requestors.  I'm using a Radio Shack
wireless microphone with an A3000.
  I talked with Impulse a year or so ago and he referred to it as a toy.  Voice
recognition for $100 is pretty amazing.  And pretty frustrating.  And pretty
amazing.  I still have alot of work to do with it, but if you learn its
peculiarities, and work within them I think you can accomplish alot.  Only
think of VoRecOne as a prototype.
  With VoRecOne I have opened PPage, loaded a file, and changed views, then
returned to workbench and loaded SuperPlan - all this from across the room.
I've created throw-away utilities: I extracted footnote entries from a book my
wife was writing via WordPerfect.  Sorted the entries, then used TxEdPlus and
VoRecOne to delete duplicate entries.  Quickly, I taught VoRecOne to recognize
"Next" and "Delete".  I then sat back in my chair reading a book, looked over
at the screen, said "Next", "Next", "Delete", "Next"...  It was wonderful to
have hands free operation of this process.

   I phoned Word Perfect Corp a few months ago - they have discontinued the
Amiga version of WP. I hear they are still supporting the last version (4.2?).
   Oh, well, I can still play games on it...

I've got a huge problem so anybody out there who know's the solution please
send me e-mail or post to the net!!!!!!!!  :(

Here's the problem, I'm using PageStream to layout 17" x 11" posters.  I'm
using the following fonts:  CG Triumvirate, Stencil Caps, and CG Times.  I
printed the page as a postscript file and moved it to an MS-DOS disk using
MultiDOS.  I brought it over to a service bureau, to be printed on their
Linotronics 300 which is hooked up to an IBM compat.  Here's what happens:

The page is printed but the output is duplicated twice on one 17" x 11" page! 
It cuts off the ends of the page, and centers it twice.  Here's a graphic
illustration:

			Original Page (in PageStream)

				____________
                                |          |

                                ------------

			   When Printed, it becomes

				____________

This was a rush job, and each page is costing me $20!  What's up with this!!!
I need a solution by Monday, Please help.  I'm using v2.2HL of PageStream,
which I BOUGHT last week from Computability, I'm using v2.2.5 of the printer
driver (postscript that is!) 

Please help me...

OK, I'll bite.  What are the distinguishing characteristics between the good,
the bad, and the ugly versions?  The one I currently have has the nasty
habit of only being able to be run ONCE, the second invocation crashes the
machine (confirmed on a 3000 and 2500).

RE: DSS-8 from GVP...
              
  I'm not sure if you can get the magazine, however, the August issue of
Amazing Computing has a review of DSS-8.  The reviewer sounded reasonably
favorable of the product.  It supports IFF, Sonix, and RAW(the type
generally used by 'trackers) sound file formats.  It has a built-in
Soundtracker clone.  The 'tracker allows you to enter notes from the Amiga
or a MIDI keyboard.
  The reviewer finishes:
                   
  "
      The DSS 8 is a solid product, easy to use, yet powerful, with
   the ability to record 8-bit samples, edit them, and then use those
   samples to create music.  The manual is well done, with plenty of
   illustrations and useful information.  If you are looking for an
   8-bit sampler for your Amiga and also want to create music, consider
   the DSS 8.
                                                                       "

Only problem that I've found with LacePointer is that the pointer *never* goes
away.  I have a mouse pointer blanker and a screen blanker (Mach III) and
it *tries* to blank the mouse but it refuses to die.  One of the main reasons
I use Mach III is because it blanks the mouse when I start typing --
a feature that I just adore!  So I don't use LacePointer anymore.

Author of LacePointer: can this "problem" be fixed?

	DMouse 1.24 will blank the pointer, even when lacepointer has
been run.  DMouse blanks the pointer after a specified amount of time.

Blackhole [an otherwise admirable file deletion utility] does it too. It
crashed a couple of  times on my machine. The last time it did it, my
disk needed to revalidate. Since this is the only time this has ecer
happened to me, blackhole got itself deleted pronto.  I hope that it
gets fixed, because it was awfully useful (and pretty,  too).

    (Just curious) Why "non-Postscript"? I think Postscript will be the "way of

    ObRecommendation:
        I bought an LX-29000 about a year ago. It's Postscript, has 3 Mb
memory, and runs great. It's probably the cheapest Postscript machine on the
market. (But you said non-Postscript..)

You just answered your own question. Call the 800 number. 

They have stopped _development_ on the Amiga, but their incredibly good
(and free!) tech support was still there a couple of months ago when I last
called (I've been a registered owner for 5 years). They will probably ask
for original disks or front page of manual to register you as the new
owner. An upgrade to the latest cost me $10, including shipping.

The real shame is that too few people bought WP for Amiga to justify
bringing out WP 5 with some graphical support. WP is not my favorite on
other platforms (I prefer MS Word) but it has all the features you need for
professional writing. In its final version the Amiga menus and file
requesters are quite good. Printer support is also exceptional. In addition
to the hundreds of standard drivers, there is a program that lets you
create your own custom drivers to make almost any printer do whatever its
hardware can manage.

OK.  That's close, it's 4.1.12.  The confusing part of this is that it
uses the WP 4.2 file format (compatable with WP on other platforms), which
is where a lot of folks get that from.

This concern has been brought to the attention of the programmers.  They
acknowledge that it's a bit slow, but they also point out that this is
the first version to support Ham.  They are pretty confident that as they
get more familiar with Ham mode, they will be able to come up with more
efficient code.

If it makes you feel any better, it crawls on my 3000/16, too :-)

True, and it's been around since version 1.0.  You'd think they'd've fixed
this by now.  Will forward this on to the Hate Mail Division, too ;-)  Maybe
they will have this fixed by version 6.0?

I am having this same problem with Final Copy and my LaserJet IIp+.
I can only print the first page.  After the first page, I have to take
the printer offline and do a form feed, then the rest of the document
is lost.  Anybody know what's going on here?

Thanks.

I don't know of any PD soloutions, but there is a commercial one that
hooks up an Amiga to a Novell network.
