It is implemented as a major mode with a keymap where each key is defined using `define-key' and bound to a special play command with a string of what to play (say, "cow"). Now, it works for me, but when I tested this on my son today he kept the key pressed way longer than I do, with the effect that the key repeats, playing the sound many times. Quite annoying. Is there a way to get around this? I have been thinking of having some timing built in so that I will not play again unless a certain time has passed. Also, even though I tell Emacs to draw the image first (using `insert-image-file'), it is not displayed until the sound has stopped playing (I use `play-sound-file'). Any way around this? Thanks! /Mathias
