TO+VERB in Words Strategy
If you import a "Words Strategy" MTI
file into your Pathfinder, you will find that when you hit ICON + TO+VERB,
it says "something to" rather than "to something."
This is just one of those unfortunate differences bewteen the Liberator
software and the Pathfinder.
However, there IS a fix using a cunning macro - designed by yours truly!
To make the Pathfinder say "to" + "verb" needs a two-step solution:
Step 1. Adding a Symbol sequence: Although you can use any sequence
you like, I recommend using L8 + TO+VERB. Here's what you store there:
<EDIT-MODE><LEFT>to <SPEECH-OFF><EDIT-MODE><RIGHT><SPEECH-ON><CTRL><SPEAK-NEXT-WORD>
Step
2. Assigning a Dependent Icon: In the Toolbox, choose ASSIGN KEY MENU
and select TO+VERB at H2. Then choose "1. Minspeak Assignment" and hit
"5. Icon Type" until you get the message "Do you want to make the
icon TO+VERB a dependent icon? Say YES.
Choose the VERB key as the icon on which this will depend. Then enter
the following:
<ICON(ICON_L8)><ICON_(TO+VERB)><ACTIVATE-KEY(O8)>
For each of these, you will have to hit INSERT TOOL first. Note that
the icons you choose must be the ones you used in Step 1. The ACTIVATE
KEY command will select the key on the Words Strategy overlay.
Phew! That's it! Don't worry if you don't understand the steps as long
as it works. Any problems? Yes. If speech is OFF, when you choose ICON
then TO+VERB, it leaves the speech ON after the sequence. If anyone has
a way around this, let me know.
