	make menuconfig is exactly what I do so a thousand
thanks!

	This is a very good feature to have because one can make
audible graphics so to speak such as a tone that gets higher
based on a value. Any hams on this list who have ever used an
audio gimic to read an analog meter to set a peak or who have
ever used a light probe know that sometimes, all you need to
know is whether a reading is increasing, decreasing or steady.
It's sort of the old kid's game of getting warmer or getting
colder.
