Well, what you'd do is build a frame, & say that when it triggers, u
want it to run a script/function. The script/function would look
similar to:

void Function ReadText ()

if (MoveTo(x, y)) then ; x & y are screen coordinates
sayWord()
PriorLine()
SayWord()
else
say("move unsuccessful", ot_no_disable)
endif
return
EndFunction

I can't guarantee the function will perform as u desire. It is
syntactically correct & does what u specify. I do advise u check the
help on MoveTo() for its caveats.
