   I recall doing that in WFWG 3.11 in the mid-90s.  There was an additional   
   floppy in the install set with drivers to allow voice control (MS Sound   
   System?).  It was significantly groovy controlling Windows through 'voicom'...   
   oh, for about 15 minutes.  Then it became particularly laborious commanding   
   the "up, up, right, right, select, hold, right, right... etc, etc".  Its   
   freshness soon wore off.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
