Having a Dialog Spoken

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Richard,

Even though my earlier questions to the list about Externals has been  
pretty much: "with Rev's features you just don't need them"; perhaps  
this is a case in which we do need some externals. So, if we have  
compiled commands which would handle this, how would we call them  
from Rev? Or maybe I should have said, can we call them from Rev? And  
on all platforms?
