Description: Reading program for plain text books
 Readaloud is an aide for learning reading also.  It helps by displaying
 text in large fonts and speaking a word or phrase selected by the user
 and giving a definition of a word selected by the user.  Readaloud
 remembers the position of the cursor each time the program is exited and
 returns to that point the next time the bookfile is opened in readaloud.
 The readaloud command may be called with or without a bookfile argument.
 The default if no bookfile is specified is to prompt the user
 interactively for a bookfile to read after listing the available
 bookfiles.  The readaloud command with a bookfile argument displays the
 bookfile in a large easily read font.  The bookfile is a plain text file
 that has a six line header added to the top of the file.  The six line
 header identifies the file as an Info mode menu file for GNU Emacs and
 enables the speaking and dictionary features.  Additional Info mode
 lines may be present to create Info mode nodes and/or menus, but are not
 necessary.  Readaloud can display the dictionary definition of a word
 when an internet connection is present.  Readaloud can say one or more
 words selected by the mouse on request.  Readaloud implements another
 request to read an entire section.
