ok, here is some key strokes that will work on any mac to get
VoiceOver working.
If on a iMac or mac pro,
Just do command key + f5 to turn on.
If using a bookPro,
Just do a fn key + command key + f5.
If you do a control + option key +k, turn on keyboard mode like
insert +1 for jaws.
If you do a control +option + h, turns on help menu for voiceOver commands.
Now for some keyboard key location. You can use any keyboard.
Starting from left bottom, control key, windows/option key, alt/command key.
That should get you up and going to have a look around.

Thanks for the information. I know some folks who use the Mac but
haven't tried it.
I am visiting the USA (tampa) for the Thanksgiving and Christmas
holidays and hope to at least have a go at using it. Started with
JAWS in 2000 and it has worked for me since then.

No. The bad news is that there is no jaws for mac. The good news is
that any recent version of the mac operating system already comes
with the screenreader for mac tied into the operating system. This
native Mac Screenreader is Called Voiceover and has becomeq quite
good. Google for "Voiceover" and you should find plenty of
information for you and your colleague. Also, I am sure that there
is a voiceover email support group out there but I do not know
subscriptioninformation. Again I refer you to our friend Google.

Please do not crucify me via cyberspace but a colleague called me
a couple of minutes to ask whether Freedom Scientific has a JFW
program that will work on the Mac. Hope to hear from you soon.
