Thanks, Wes! Looks like the Keyboard shortcuts in the System Preferences is
still set to allow access to everything. I also browsed through many of the
other various settings, just to see if anything else jumped out at me. Didn't
make any changes though. With regard to the problem I am having, I am
apparently unable to expand a collapsed folder simply by hitting right-arrow.
When I do press right-arrow, VoiceOver begins reading additional information
about the folder, such as the date it was last modified, size,etc. I don't
know, I am still trying to figure out exactly what is and is not happening at
this point. :-)
