Hi Gary, Have your friend try the following and see if it helps:
1. Go to the Dock using VO + D, and place focus on the icon for the Downloads folder. 2. Use VO + SHIFT + M, to open a shortcut menu that will allow you to change how the folder contents are viewed. 3. Use VO + Up/Down Arrows to navigate this menu so that category headings can be read. 4. Navigate to the Display As category, and choose Folder. 5. Use VO + D to return focus to the Dock, and VO + SHIFT + M to reopen the shortcut menu. Then navigate the menu to the Display Content As category, and choose List. This should allow contents of the Folder to be read by voiceOver.
