updates to release 24 of emacs for the user interface.

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.
