for details. When a skippable element is encountered during playback, Stream behaves as
follows:
Play
: The element is always played.

: The element is never played.

When an element is recalled, the name of the element is played and playback starts at the
beginning of the element. When the end of the element is reached, the message “

is played and the book position will return to where it was when the
Confirm
