How do I avoid the toolbar at the top of the page that has links to
Google, Yahoo, and so on, and just get to the html content???

Hello Kaz
Before I go any further, I strongly encourage you to use the list
archives pages. You will find a great deal of the information
there. You can find the archive page at:
<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]>
There's also our own archive but for the moment I think you'll find
that one more than sufficient. Of course, this does not prohibit
you from asking questions, not at all. I'm just trying to save you
time and effort.
Despite what some of the so-called accessibility gurus biased
towards Windows would have you believe, there is a great deal of
merit in browsing the Internet with VoiceOver and Safari. Edit
boxers just work as you find them, no need to press enter on them as
you would with, for instance, Window-Eyes. In fact, when I go back
to that application it makes me wonder how on earth I ever used it!
I hope you get your use out of the Mac and I urge you to think about
acquiring the "Take Control" series of books which have a great deal
of information regarding how you use a Mac. If you want to know
more about these titles, which we offer at an 80 percent discount to
our members, feel free to write to us off list, <[email protected]>.
Also, if you press "Command+Control+Option+F8", you'll be placed
into the "VoiceOver Quick-start" guide. That will give you the
basics of VoiceOver usage, at least, enough to give you the concepts
of using VoiceOver. VoiceOver differs from many Windows-based
screen-reading applications in as much as it presents you with a
webpage in a similar way to that which those with vision get. This
differs from the molly-coddling approach which they take under
Windows with the "MSAA" environment.
Feel free to come back with any further questions at any time. I am
sure the list members will make you feel welcome. But speaking on
behalf of the list owners, (myself and Lynne), welcome to Mac Access
and, more importantly still, welcome to the world of Mac. Once you
get over the differences you'll never go back!

Very new to the Mac and looking for some basic help.
If I'm using safari are their basic key strokes I can use for
getting around web pages? For example how do I easily find where I
need to type in a web address? Also, how do I easily find an edit
box to type something in and things like a submit button etc.
This is all very new to me so any help will be greatly appreciated.
