	==History Buffer==		==History Buffer==
	The history buffer is a stored list of what probably will be channel sends for later reviewing using a provided set of key combinations. It is possible to add what ever you want to it, but the most common method for getting things stored there is the channel history function, which you can toggle with the config his command. When this is on, supported channels will be represented in the history buffer. This is handy for a quick way to review what has been said by other players when there might be too much incoming text to be able to properly keep up with all the socialization going on. Note too that if you don't use a screen reader or you have speech output toggled off for one reason or another, the below listed keystrokes for reviewing the history buffer do still speak. If you use them while you haven't a supported screen reader running, this'll still speak, using your computer's built in SAPi function. Channel history is not enabled by default, config his will toggle it.

This indicates that the buffer wasn't remembering a prior position to start from, so will now start at the most recent buffer item. Afterward, it will remember the position for about 1 minute after the last buffer reviewing command, then you'll hear a descending tone indicating that it has reset, and next time you press a buffer reviewing key it will begin at the most recent item again.</strong>

	The main speech output is what is used by default to read aloud all text that comes back from the mud. If you're blind or low vision and you use a screen reader, this is quite handy. The session will try to make your screen reader do the talking. If no supported screen reader can be detected, the built in windows SAPI speech function will be used instead. The voice used by SAPI can be assigned as described below.		The main speech output is what is used by default to read aloud all text that comes back from the mud.
