Hey David, thanks for your note. Yes, I'm very familiar with html
and such, but my point was that it doesn't specify in the descripts
that it doesn't work for webpages and on top of that, I just
personally feel that this should be a basic feature. I'm not saying
that it's necessarily super easy to implement or anything, <smile>
but for the more common level of web access over the past few years, I
believe this ability is simply a must...
Just my thoughts of course, and as I've said, I think what Apple has
done here is fantastic! -and I'd encourage as many people as possible
to support this.
Have a great day!...
Smiles,
Cara :)

Say all from cursor point means something slightly different than
what's name implies. On the web, this is more apparent. Vo cannot
automatically go some places. Mail is text. Web pages are made up
of many things that chop up the text. If you have a web page that
is streight text like the linux guide, it works like it does in mail.

OK then why does it work in e-mails such as this one but not in
Safari? It reads the whole durn page.

VO A is read from cursor to end and VO shift W is read entire

I was doing some thinking and most people say that the say all
command is VO A. In theory this is correct, but if it is echoing
the window that VO has focus on then it is safe to assume that
on a web page that it will read the whole thing. I almost bet
that if you have a command that reads from the cursor to the end
of text that it will solve this problem. Does anyone know of
such a keystroke?
