I type in my password, and carriage return.  In the current verion
of iTunes, after selecting the track, you have to enter your iTunes
account info to go ahead.  Use item chooser menu and select
"Apple ID";  VO-keys down arrow and type in your ID.  Use
item chooser menu and select "Password";  VO-keys down
arrow and type in your password, then carriage return.

Actually, you probably don't have to do all of the item chooser
menu entries.  If you were logged into your iTunes account,
you'll automatcially have your Apple ID user name filled in,
and you'll automatically be in the password field where you
can type and carriage return.  (If you VO-keys up arrow you'll
here "Password", indicating the prompt for this field).  And if
you typed in your password authorization recently you won't
even have to do this again -- iTunes will authorize your purchase.

There's also a "remember password" check box there.

Here's how it works for me.  I'd check your 
cursor tracking settings under the VoicerOver
utility (VO-keys + F8 key to bring up the utility; under the 
Navigation tab look at the options for cursor tracking).  I have
Mouse Cursor tracks VoiceOver cursor checked.
Then for purchases in the iTunes Store I interact
with the Songs Outline, and VO-keys right arrow 
to the price column of the track I want to purchase.
 
On my laptop I use VO-keys shift space to make
the purchase, but clicking the mouse at this
point also works. You'll have to type in your iTunes password
to complete the transaction, assuming you have
an account already created.  I'm logged in, so I 
just type in my password and carriage return.

What happens if
you try a practice purchase on one of the "free" weekly
iTunes songs listed on the macrumors forum thread that links
to these in the iTunes store:

http://forums.macrumors.com/printthread.php?t=265572

The  first entry links are for this week's free downloads,
which will expire (i.e., cost money) when the next free
downloads appear next Tuesday.

Click on one of the links from your browser and your
focus will shift to the web page in  the iTunes store for that 
entry and you will be in the Songs Outline.  I'd practice with
these free "purchases" since they work exactly like real
purchase check-outs but don't cost you anything.

If you forget the link, just google 
"macrumors forum free iTunes 2007" and you'll
get to the thread listing each week's free iTunes.

Since many of these songs have only one track in the
iTunes listing, you can check that your focus does not 
jump down 3 or 4 rows.

HTH

Cheers,

moriond
