Here is an opinion from a minion. I would suggest starting off with a very small number of Window-Eyes specific commands. Read current line and read to end is a good beginning. After the person is comfortable with those two then may be consider introducing browse mode commands. H and shift+H is a good introduction. Remember that arrow keys and pressing tabl and shift+tab are not Window-Eyes specific. After the person has had a few days to get comfortable with these basics, then you can add some more. Read current word for example and D to get to the next different element on a web page are also handy. Vic
