Adrian,

        Your comment about "false enhancement" rings true, at least in a way, 
even to me.  I can't tell you how many times I've had a client land in an edit 
field, where that's not where I want (or they want) to be and I've succumbed to 
saying something along the lines of, "We're looking for a button, so hit 'B' 
and that will take you to the first button on the screen."  Unfortunately, when 
you're in auto forms mode, of course it doesn't do that and interprets the 'B' 
as you typing the letter B.  

         Am I correct in my assumption that if the auto feature is turned off, 
you will still get the announcement that you are indeed in an edit field (or 
what have you), but you must hit a single Enter, which switches you in to forms 
mode and that all typed characters after that will be entered into the edit 
field, which you then have to hit Num Pad Plus to shift out of forms mode and 
back to navigation mode?  Gads, but that's a long-winded question that I don't 
quite know how to rephrase!!

      As an unrelated aside, oldster that I am I still sometimes refer to enter 
as  return, and I warn my clients that if they hear me say return I mean enter. 
 I guess for anyone who ever used an electric typewriter this definitely makes 
sense.   Thank heavens my really old computer geek doesn't come out where I 
would say CR LF, which is short for carriage return line feed!

Brian
