YOU were almost correct… vo lower case w reads the current word, but vo upper W 
will read the contents of the window. I am not sure what happens if there is 
scrollable text in the window. For example if you are viewing a MacVisionaries 
thread with 25 messages, will it read the entire thread or just the visible 
parts.

                Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn
