Actually this makes good sense and thank you very much for the
explanation. This really does help and I think with some practice in
editing different items beyond messages and simple documents, I'll
get better at it.

Hi,
I can answer the behavior of the cursor.
The cursor movement is different with VO.
Think of it this way.
What is it that you are doing while either editing or navigating
to a point to edit.
If you are moving to the right, then your cursor will always be to
the right of the current letter. If you are moving to the left,
then the cursor will always be to the left of the current letter.
Let me give you a few examples.
If you are on a line of text and you hit Control Left arrow to get
to the beginning of that line of text, because you moved left, the
cursor is now just before the first letter on that line. If you
now hit right arrow you will hear the first letter announced, not
the second letter as you would in MS Word or Notepad or something
else.
In fact, once you get use to this concept, it really is easier to
edit and you don't need to do as much positioning of your cursor
as you do on other platforms.
So think of it this way. If your last movement was to the left,
cursor will lead to the left. If your last movement was to the
right, the cursor will lead to the right.
At least this is my take on it.
