[Blindapple] editing Hello to add Textalker

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

There are several program fragments floating around that do pretty much 
the same thing. If you need help with the mechanics of using CiderPress 
to actually modify the program, please let me know. Otherwise, here's a 
fragment you can use. It assumes the real program starts at line 10, so 
adjust accordingly.

  0  PRINT  CHR$ (4),"BRUNTEXTALKER.RAM"
  1  PRINT  CHR$ (5);: PRINT "C"
  2  TEXT : HOME : PRINT "DO YOU WANT SLOW SPEECH? PRESS Y OR N.": GET Y$
  3  IF Y$ = "Y" OR Y$ = "y" THEN  PRINT  CHR$ (5);: PRINT "E": GOTO 10
  4  IF Y$ = "N" OR Y$ = "n" THEN 10
  5  PRINT "INVALID RESPONSE, TRY AGAIN.": GOTO 2
