You can use the supplied Quicken environment with Quicken 6.0,
7.0, or 8.0 and Vocal-Eyes 3.0.  With minor changes, it can be
used with Quicken 5.0 as well.  

With autoloading enabled, which is the default, Vocal-Eyes will
automatically load the Q.SET and Q.CHR files.  If you have
autoloading disabled, you will need to issue the following
command right before you are ready to load Quicken:

                      VE /CQ /F0Q

This will load both the character dictionary and the appropriate
.SET file.  Note that you need to use the above command only if
you've disabled autoloading.  At this point, start up Quicken
with the following
command:

                               Q 

As you can see, the autoloading approach is much simpler.

You now have a talking version of Quicken.  Remember, you can
change any of the default values supplied here.  This is simply
meant to get you started.  

Most of the standard read hot keys have been changed because of
conflicts with Quicken hot keys.  A list of read hot keys for
Quicken 6.0 follows:

ALT-C      reads the current character
ALT-W      reads the current word
ALT-L      reads the current line
CTRL-H     reads the heading.  In the register, this is the
           column heading.  When a message box appears, this is   
           the heading of the box.  In the pull-down menus, this  
           is the menu title.  
ALT-I      reads the instructions at the bottom of the screen
ALT-M      reads the menu at the top of the screen
SHIFT-F10  is the bypass key

In the register:

ALT-F     reads the current field.  This is the text at the 
          cursor position in the highlighted entry.
ALT-T      reads the contents of the payment column
ALT-D      reads the contents of the deposit column

Quicken puts "boxes" on the screen with menus or messages. 
Although these look more or less like boxes, they actually have
only three sides and are distinguished by color.  Because of
this, there are a number of SET files which call each other and
read specific regions or attributes.  What this means to you is
that you will need to change a number of color settings in these
SET files if the color selection is changed in Quicken.  

If you have selected the monochrome color option in Quicken, you
can use the set files located in the file MQUICKEN.ARJ.  Simply
change to your SPEECH directory and type:

     ARJ E MQUICKEN

and allow the files contained in this file to overwrite the color
.SET files, if any. 

Whichever group of SET files you use, you may want to change the
rate, pitch, etc. in all of them at once.  You can do this by
using SET2TEXT and TEXT2SET supplied with Vocal-Eyes.  Feel free
to use the utility SET2TEXT to convert the supplied .SET
files into readable ASCII text files.  This will show you all of
the settings in a more readable format.
