getting hal to read out loud

[Bill819]

I type in a text file which was opened by hal. Then I tried to get hal to read it with no luck. What am I doing wrong? The file contained the words to the old song "Daisey" as sung by the original Hal 9000 computer in '2001 A Space Oddesy'.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank
Bill

-Looking into it

there are the Functions called
HalBrain.ReadSent(ByVal TextString As String,ByVal SentNum As Integer) As String
HalBrain.SentenceGenerator(ByVal File_Name As String) As String

Mebbe there is a way to read in all of the lines in the file into a variable and have

Hal say the variable. Hmmm, since I am now running the 5.0 beta, there is no cushy

Brain Editor to program from...gotta do it the old fashioned way!! If HB.ReadSent

don't work, there may be another way to do it. >B) get back to you

I found that if I copied the document from MS Wordpad to Hals HalPad I could get the document read out loud. One problem is that Hal will not load HalPad upon command. But once in HalPad you can open any document file on your system.
Thanks for the input
