[NTLK] GestureLaunch/Dashboard script problem with PlaySound (revisited)

I'm trying to trigger PlaySound with gesturing on the Newt.

I've tried both Dashboard and GestureLaunch, but as it turns out I think the
problem lies elsewhere. I've tried to review the threads on this kind of
thing, such as for example:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=newtontalk&m=101365753030219&w=2

but there is vague reference to a similar problem but with no resolution.

So what's the problem? A simple script activated using GestureLaunch, or
Dashboard gesture does not speak. As simple as this:

begin
     PlaySound("this is a test");
end;

Without this basic functionality, it's hard to trigger speaking with
gestures.

Does this twig anything for you sound/Newtonscript/gesture users out there?

signed,
puzzled
