Phil,

Thanks for the suggestion. I was unaware of RR's revSpeechSpeed property.

Unfortunately it is not very reliable. At a speed set at 150, rev 
might speak anywhere from 128 to 154.

As an alternative I have put  this handler into the field:

on mouseUp
   put the clickchunk into tChunk
   set the tClickChunkStart of field 1  to word 2 of tChunk
   revstopSpeech
end mouseUp


And stop speech by ckicking on the point where I wish the next speech 
to begin on resuming.

And then resume speech from char  tClickChunkStart  to char -1 of field 1.

Not exactly what I wanted, but  it will do.

Thanks again,

Jim
