Hi David,
I pasted your entire snip into a file, named it TestSpeechSnip.vbs, in
my default WE profiles folder, loaded it globally in the App Manager,
and got the results you wanted.

Guys,
I have inserted a small snip of a code, above. When running this code,
I had it perform the middle SPEAK command in a slower rate, but only
once. Why it worked once, I have been unable to determine. I have run
it numerous times, and the rate does not slow down. I tried with some
sleep commands, both ahead of - and behind - the ActiveSettings
instructions. All the sleep command did, was to insert initial pause
before the speech would ever start out.
Am I doing something wrong in my code? Did I miss some instructions?
Or, is my idea of being able to slow down in the middle of a line of
speak commands, totally lost behind any possibility?
Thanks for any feedback and suggestions, that might lead me on the
right track.
