how to associate documents in emacspeak?

["T. V. Raman" <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Note that to stick with emacs convention, you should put such
global keys on c-c followed by a non-control char --- that is
guaranteed not to be overridden by well-behaved emacs modes. Keys
like C-c C-c are often rebound by other modes.

    Tim> sending e-mail and accessing media files.  Many users
    Tim> have only a ver basic conceptual understanding of how
