Thanks. I hadn't considered that possibility. I got the chip friday night and have it speaking with the Stamp already. I borrowed a program from parallax and modified it to say what I want. It took me a little while, though, because they had incorrect baud rates. I think I will probably do that. I only need a few phrases. I just want to emulate the W.O.P.R. from the 1982 film "War Games." We have a chess club. I figured I would have the robot challenge the teacher to a game. Also, I just learned something happed that fried part of the electrionics board, so I will be doing a bit of repair. This will help a lot. Thanks
