I would like to start continuous reading from a specific point in a
document or email instead of my only choice being to read the whole
document orr email. Also fix it so that the anouncement of some one
loging on to iChat or new email coming in don't mess up the reading
where I end up having to start over.

Me personally, I'd like to see vo work better with XTools. Whether
this is via XTools becoming more vo friendly, or vo doing something

really makes no difference to me, as long as I can use the silly
thing to build a full-blown app from scratch without having to
resort to coding tricks, command-line editing, and/or canibalizing
other programs just to get the interface objects I need. Though
version 2.3 is a leap forward from previous versions, it still
lacks a *lot* of things. I.E. there's no way (I know of) to get at
the pallete's tool bar, and customizing items such as matricies,
buttons and window panels can't be done using vo only key
combinations. Admittedly, a lot of this has to do with mouse drag-
and-drop type operations, but some of it doesn't, have anything to
do with mous movement (such as customized toolbars) and it sure
would be nice if we could do these kinds of things without sighted
assistance. Especially since,, in my case, sighted assistance for
programming related tasks is extremely hard to come by. Sure, my
wife can click and drag things for me, but often she has no idea
what she's supposed to do, and trying to explain what I want isn't
always possible.
To say the least, working with the tools apple provides for
programming that make it so simple for sighted folks is a real
chore for vo users, and downright impossible in some cases.
I'd also like to see better access to terminal. I've fiddled with
a few solutions myself, and had some success, but nothing I'd write
home about.
I'd also like to see a mode where you could have vo read
automatically when text changes on the screen. While I don't need
this very often, I find occasions where this could be very handy.
