Editing Currah (section)

===Programming speech===
Specific words and phrases could be spoken by assigning a value to the reserved string variable <code>S$</code>.  This was interpreted letter-by-letter unless brackets were used to denote other [[allophone]]s.  A simple example would be "(dth)is", (dth) representing the [[voiced dental fricative]] /ð/. Sixty-three allophones were provided.  Rudimentary pitch modulation could be achieved by altering the case of the letters—upper case letters being pronounced at a slightly higher pitch.

A more complex example:
  5 REM OKAY WISEGUY THIS IS IT
 10 <nowiki>LET a$=" (oo)K (AA)"</nowiki>
 20 <nowiki>LET b$="w(ii)z (ggg) (ii),"</nowiki>
 30 <nowiki>LET c$=" (dth)is iz it"</nowiki>
 40 <nowiki>LET S$=a$+b$+c$</nowiki>
