Nicely answered Esther.
Chris: Here are my answers:
1. In Mail, under Leopard, if I get an e-mail which has a link in it,
or several links for that mind, I have been using the item chooser
list to get to them. Is there an easier way to click them aside that
or the vo+U links list?
Yeah that's possible. When you have copied the link to your clipboard,
go into your mail, go to the edit menu, choose the links submenu and
choose add link. If you paste the link there, the URL will be
displayed instead the text from the link.
Regarding question number two, I don't think there is an easyer way to
find the links.
Then I read the beginning of your mail, I thought you had maybe 10 or
20 questions. I don't remember how many questions I asked the first
day I got my Mac, but I got enough help to quickly learn how the Mac
works, and it makes me happy to see so many people who are helping
each other.
Best regards

2. If I wanna send a link to someone, but rather than in the e-
mail, it showing the URL as the link text, I'd rather it say
something like: click here to go to the site, is there a way to
make that happen? I tried using html markup, but it didn't work.
Why not use Weblocmaker and send the webloc (for Mac) or URL (for
Windows) file as an email attachment? Then someone who saves the
attached file to their Desktop can just click the file to go that
web site in their Windows (I.E.) or Safari browser? I'm pointing
you back to the relevant post in the archives:

4. I do not have a mouse on this machine, as I don't have room on
my desk for one. If I go to a link on a web page in Safari, and
then vo+command+F5, I then can't do vo+shift+M. I wonder aside
hitting control and then clicking the physical mouse, being I
don't have the resources of desk room to put a mouse up there to
do that, is there another way, or am I kind a screwed as faras
that goes.
VO-Shift-M is fixed in the Webkit nightly builds, so if you use
Webkit instead of Safari, as mentioned earlier today, VO-Shift-M
works to download, etc. files from the link. Failing that, if you
have Leopard on that machine, and it's a desktop (full) keyboard,
you should be able to click by pressing the "5" key on the number
pad with Numpad Commander turned on in your VoiceOver options. That
should work as a hardware key click under Safari, and in any other
circumstances where you need to do a physical mouse click.
Cheers,
Esther
