   YEah did that on a dos box that had the bbs in it which had   
   both sound card and speech card for awhile.  Especially   
   during daytime events when I might be working on the other   
   machine.

   YEp, that's a lot of what I did, event exits with binkley   
   used the command line audio player.  USed it to cue sound   
   effects during productions at the studio too, get this, with HOrst's waittime   
   on a couple of occasions.   
      
   This one has no sound card though, and I don't have that   
   command line .wav and .voc player anymore.   
      
   Regards,   
              Richard
