command-execute in .emacs file

command-execute in .emacs file

[fab]

Hi all!
I'm a beginner with lisp language and I'm trying to use Emacs with Speech
Dispatcher 
and Festival (in English language).

This manual page [1] says how to remove the brltty symbol from the
list of active output drivers, using the interactive command:

> M-x speechd-out-disable-driver RET brltty RET

Now I'm tryng to customize my .emacs file, but if I use this form

> (command-execute 'speechd-out-disable-driver nil "brltty")

I obtain this error message:

> Wrong type argument: vectorp, brltty

Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Fabio

Don't use command-execute for invoking a function, just call the
function directly.

From my interpretation of the function definition on

http://cvs.freebsoft.org/repository/speechd-el.moved-to-git/speechd-out.el?view=markup

it seems that speechd-out-disable-driver expects a symbol name
corresponding to the driver to be disabled. So try putting this on your
.emacs:

(speechd-out-disable-driver 'brltty)

Thanks for your reply, but I obtain this error message:

> Wrong type argument: arrayp, (lambda nil (speechd-braille--create-manager
(function speechd-braille--display)))

Looks a bit like a bug, although I wonder why you don't get an error
when doing this with M-x.

Looking at the message you get, I guess that you are not using the
latest version speechd-el-2.5.  In that case, can you please retry with
that version?

I solved the problem by myself.
I write the solution for those who read this thread:

"command-execute" function do not expects function parameters that replace
the text entered from the keyboard [1]. So I did NOT use it.

According to the documentation of speechd [2] I edited just the variable,
removing the brltty element from the list of drivers:

(setq speechd-out-active-drivers '(ssip));

I've got the error using speechd-el-2.4 (from Debian Wheezy)
and writing

(speechd-out-disable-driver 'brltty)

Actually, as you expected, using speechd-el-2.5-1 (from Debian Sid) this
error disappears...
