Actually, the backspace key does the same thing on many other browsers,
including Safari on the Mac. I suspect the problem was the cursor wasn't
actually inside the form field.

Ah yep, that can be a problem at times because I think the backspace key
is a command in Windows Internet Explorer that takes you back a page or
something like that <smile>.

One thing I have noticed is that VoiceOver scans the screen similarly to
how a sighted person looks at it. For example, when entering a form
field in Windows, Jaws uses the tab keys to move through the form
field. I find that, with VoiceOver, on the other hand, I use my right
and left arrows to navigate the forms and have no problems filling them
out. Whenever I use my Tab keys, I tend to miss a lot of textual
information. Since learning to interact with dialog and list boxes, I
find it almost automatic to me. I also like the idea that, if I enter
an incorrect bit of information, I can go back through the form and
delete the text entered and replace it with the new one. I tried that
in Windows the other day, and the Backspace key took me out of the form
field. I know this because my wife was watching the screen while I was
filling out a credit card application and was able to follow the form as
I went through it. If that doesn't convince her to convert to the Mac,
