Well, guess it all depends on where you come from, and personal taste. Do you think sighted people, will have to switch any mode on/off before they can operate webpages? They stimply go to the edit box, and type. No 'pressing Enter'.
Again, it would be best, if the auto-browse-mode could be a user defined setting. Then the ones that wants it the way it is right now, could turn the Auto-Browse-Mode OFF. The others could set it to ON. Everyone will be pleased, and noone will have any reason for complaining. ----- Original Message ----- From: erik burggraaf To: Olusegun -- Victory Associates LTD, Inc.

It's a pain in the arse. The rules for when auto forms mode turns on and off are ridiculous to teach. Then you have computers with browser applets installed to auto fil forms for you and that gums up the works. I just hate teaching it, and my clients despise learning it. Where-as they understand that you have to press enter to start typing and something else to go back to browsing all the time and no exceptions. Are we so lazy as a society that the press of an enter key is really too much effort, or should we just switch to apple and have single mode access to entire webpages. I dano, as long as it's optional, smiles. Best, Erik Burggraaf This month in Ebony Promos: Two new gps systems for demo. Mac OS Lion When will it be supported?

How about auto Browse mode on and off? I get tired of having to press <enter> to turn browse mode on and then ctrl-shift-a to turn it back on. This slows me down quite a bit at work. Hopefully this can be implemented during the course of the rewrite of the Browse Mode functionality in the next upcoming Window-Eyes! Also, with regards to Eloquence, why does it install more than one package? All over the Control Panel's add/remove programs, I read ETI Eloquence this and that! Could there be one compact install of Eloquence analogous to that in Jaws? May be I'm dreaming a bit, but I sure like Eloquence implementation in Jaws than in Window-Eyes. Sorry, I don't care for the Window-Eyes DecTalk sounds too canned for me to understand!
