Just did some experimenting. It turns out with that download box that pops up that is being discussed here, where it says download now! is not the button. The close beside it is a link, but the download button is below those and some text thatsays click the button below to download. I could not get the WE mouse to it alhough I id not try any mouse down command other than the regular numpad arrows. I also had not confirmed that was where the button was until I loaded system access and found that after refreshing the screen with sytem access it reads that box with normal arrowing up and down, but the button is not labeled. Simply pressing enter on the line that doesn't say anything and is below the text saying click the button below to download pops up the box that asks where to put the file that we are all use to in windows. I am not quite sure if there is a way yet to get windowEyes to do this with this box we are talking about. You definitely have to turn off browse mode and use the mouse in window eyes to see the box at all. You might be able to get the mouse onto it somehow, but not sure if it would say anything if that did happen or not. That's what's up though.
