Dear all,

This is my first post to the list, with a new MacBook in hand and an
unfamiliar operating system to learn. I'm approaching this from a UNIX
background - mostly Linux, but I also had an account on a SUNOS (later
Solaris) machine for a number of years. I'm also familiar with both Android
and IOS, as well as older operating systems such as MS-DOS, and, going back
further, the Apple II, for anyone who remembers DOS 3.3, ProDOS, BEX,
WordTalk, etc.

What are the most effective ways of reviewing and working with the OS X
terminal using VoiceOver, with a braille display and speech? I've searched the
list archives, where I found a recommendation to turn on the numpad in the
terminal application so as to use the scrollback buffer. However, the keyboard
on my laptop, as with almost every laptop that I've ever owned, doesn't
include a numeric keypad.

Incidentally, the machine is running OS X 10.9.3.

What's the optimal way to set this up?
