Interesting, I tried vo+a for all text but it only read me a paragraph at a time.
BTW, how does one read the text from the finder help. For example: 1. Open help from Finder. 2. Enterr a search phrase such as network file share. 3. Arrow down in the table to a topic of interest. At this point I'm kind of stuck as to read the actual help topic. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pratik Patel Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 8:16 PM To: 'General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by the blind' Subject: RE: Two Basic Questions on Mac Use Hi Kelly, To read all text to end use VO+a. To get to battery status, go to the status menus. You can cycle through different menus by using VO+m. The first VO+m will take you to the main menu, the next VO+m press to the second set. Use VO+left and right arrow keys when in the menu area to get to various menus. If ou have cursor tracking enabled, you can use the arrow keys without the VO keys. HTH.

I have some experience using the earlier version in Tiger so am somewhat familiar with operation, although a Mac isn't my main machine. I was wondering though: 1. Is there the equivalent of a say all command when reading long blocks of text? This would be the equivalent of JAWS ins+down arrow and window-eyes ctrl+shift+r. 2. How do I check battery status on a Macbook notebook? Thanks, Kellhy
