Which "Inspector window"? There are twelve different tools/windows that are available in Monet. The ones concerned with the synthesised speech are complete. The ones concerned with editing/creating new database components are stubs. But none of them should be called an "Inspector window".

I wonder which documentation you have read.

Here I saw a reference to a "Inspector Panel":
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~hill/papers/monman/index.html

Is this documentation relevant mostly or the NeXTSTEP version?

Of course. You are right. But all that has now been brought together in the "Postures" window. There is no longer a separate "Inspector" window. You get the parameters for the postures by making the appropriate selection in the "Postures" window (one of several selections -- it is much tidier).

I really must produce a new version of the Monet manual that refers to the revised layout and covers both Mac OS X and GNUStep. The existing manual arose out of explaining the NeXTSTEP version, which the new version follows reasonably well but some details, like the one you point out, have changed). A new edition of the manual is obviously a fairly urgent need. But I also ought to write a short manual that explains how to use the entire suite of Apps to produce a new language. But for these I need to get Monet finished so you can create/edit the databases, or the new editions of the manuals wouldn't be much use!

I really appreciate your interest and willingness to work on some of the problems.

Warm regards.

david
