What built-in application.speech stuff are you referring to?

I'm a newbie with API calls (don't even know what they are)... I used
the code that Chip Pearson has posted in many other threads.

The website is much more than I'm looking for and I couldn't even find
a specific reference to WAV file playing.

1. Can you point me to exactly where the WAV playing functions are
discussed in the website?
2. Explain how I could change the parameters to play WAVs
sequentially?

Thanks.
