Multiple letter navigation like that is a very unixy thing. I was able to do something similar with ubuntu and other linux's and since os 10 is based on free bsd then, it follows that this is very native to that sort of os.

Cheers.

Hi,

Based on the instructions in a different post by the previous poster to this thread, I have found a trick.

Go to the Menu bar. Now let's say Mail and Messages are in the same menu bar. Now, rapidly type m, e and you will get message. Type M, A, and you will get to mail.

I wondered what happened to first letter navigation, it looks like Apple had a trick up their sleeve.

Thanks for listening,

To reply to messages in mail, simply hit command R.
I would explore the menu bar to look for commands like that, VO will tell you if there is one for a menu option. On Oct 22, 2008, at 8:32 PM, Dan Geise wrote:

sorry, I could not figure out how to reply to your responses, I feel I should give you all a little back ground. I am 28 years old, I lost my vision about 2 years ago due to a heart surgery. I used a program called freedom box made by serotek for a bit but it was really expencive. I recently switched to a mac because of a pod cast I listen too called the screenless switchers. anyways I am looking for adcvice on how to use this thing. I built computers and have a good knowledge of how everything works on the windows side with no screen reader but this is different world.

just wondering what advice tyou all can give to me to make this transition a bit easier. I have flip for mac for online listening to web radio, I also got a program called tables for my "excel" documents. are there any other things I NEED for everyday use. Thank you all

I feel I have found a community that I can look to for advice instead of just experimenting and seeing what happens...

thank you dan
