Hello Nigel, NumPad Commander is described in the VoiceOver Getting Started Guide for Leopard. The Curtin University site links to the page of the various guide formats that Greg Kearney provided does not seem to have survived their web site redesign at the beginning of the year, but you can also find these resources at:
http://www.guidedogswa.org/books/vogs/vogs.php or you can download the PDF version of the guide by using the following file link from the Apple manuals site: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/VoiceOver_getting_Started_Leopard_10.5.pdf (These sites come up as the first two links in a Google search for "VoiceOver Getting Started Leopard"). I keep bookmarks to the sections about using NumPad Commander in the PDF document under Preview, so I can tell you that the list of NumPad Commander shortcuts starts on page 99, and the paragraph on using NumPad Commander is on page 64. If you want to bookmark a page in Preview, use Command-D, just as you would for a web page, and type in a name for the bookmark. Then, whenever you want to open the document at that page, just navigate to the Bookmarks menu on the Preview menu bar (VO-M, then press "b"), and arrow down to the name of the bookmark you saved. The document will open at the page you bookmarked, even if you haven't already located or opened the file on your computer. VoiceOver reads out the page number as part of the identification. You would probably need to use the "Go to page…" shortcut (Command-Option-G), or navigate to the "Go" menu on the Preview menu bar to start at page 64 or page 99 after typing the desired page number in to the text box. You can probably get better tips about using NumPad Commander from other list members -- I have this bookmarked because I wanted to learn this with a USB keyboard. It's not something I regularly use, since I have a MacBook.
