[MV] DNS on Mac on Parallels

Joseph, Chuck,

Thank you for the suggestions.  I think another thing I'll try is  
training the alphabet into command mode so I can ignore spelling mode  
and only have to deal with the two remaining modes.

I understand there are technical challenges in creating a truly  
modeless speech interface, but we've got to get there somehow.   
Speech has the potential to be a much more natural interface for the  
computer than mice and keyboards, but always having to remember which  
mode you're in is a big stumbling block.  You may be used to it now,  
after you've been using iListen for a while, but that's not how most  
people talk.
