12.74 emacspeak-eterm

This module makes eterm talk. Eterm is the new terminal emulator for Emacs. Use of emacspeak with eterm really needs an info page. At present, the only documentation is the source level documentation. This module uses Control-t as an additional prefix key to allow the user To move around the terminal and have different parts spoken.
