Re: Evidently someone is confused as to what "barge in" means.

Hi Robert - like I said, I may be confused. But I don't think so. I didn't
make clear that what I was talking about was the description of the
"hotword" value of "bargeintype".  My objection was to to the parenthetical
statement that the bargeintype "hotword" applies even to the timeout at the
end of the prompt.
