Re: [Emacspeak] Sharpwin First (hopefully) Useable Release

[Devin Prater <r.d.t.prater@xxxxxxxxx>]

Probably using slashes now for the path instead of backslashes.  Could 
also be since I installed everything with scoop last time instead of 
Winget this time. Also made sure everything was in ~/.

Now, the only big issues so far: C-x C-c doesn't work to close Emacs, 
C-x right and C-x Left don't speak when changing buffers, but the 
buffers do change.
