Your question about where to put the copy command, better be before the exit 0 line as the exit command does what it says and will exit the script at that point. Sometimes those exit commands are put in start up scripts so you can disable them (IE. the exit command will be near the beginning so that either you comment it out to enable the script or uncomment it to disable the script).

I tried some stuff on my system. Here is what I found.
When I edited the copy of the table I used nano for my editor and it added an extra blank line and so when I tried to copy the table into /sys/module/speakup/parameters/characters it didn't go in because of the extra line. You should have a single new line character following the last entry in the table (nano made it two new lines). However I didn't get any error message with this copying, it just didn't go in. When I corrected the table and then tried to copy it, everything worked fine.
OK, that was it. Reediting the file with emacs did the trick. Note: You can change the config file of nano, so that this additional line isn't put in. I'll do so. One question about /etc/rc.local: Where to put the cp command? Before or after that "exit 0" line? Hermann
