[Emacspeak] Re: Disable pronouncing CAPS globally

[Jim Green <2greensinva@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm no expert, but have that problem.  After starting Emacs and Emacspeak,
I hold down the control key and hit the letter u.  That makes the
following command good for the session  It is C-u.

Then do C-e C-d C-s, and Emacspeak will stop saying "capitol," until next
boot up.

I'm sure this could be changed in the Emacspeak settings, but I don't know
how.  HTH.

Jim
