I’m BACK, but with no problems, this time!!! Just a few quick comments—I really am enjoying the continuing comments about French, and although I have a satisfactory answer for my original quandary, I keep looking at the new posts, because I might just learn something to keep in mind when a new issue arises—so, thanks, everyone.
Jim H., you must be from Canada? The only place I ever heard the expression “touch wood” is on an old interview done with the band Rush, which, BTW, I am a fan of. I think it’s ever so more elegant and satisfying than our “knock on wood...” Off to finish reading the new entries.

Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
Jaws dictionary has been a work in progress over the years. From no customizable pronunciation at all in 1.x, it's evolved into a sophisticated tool that can be customized for multiple apps, multiple synths--really cool stuff.
