Oh, the arrows work -- but when I attempt to insert a letter there, or erase, I discover that I am at the beginning or end of a word. I keep checking cursor tracking and all checks out. Is there a single command which I can use without going into the VO menu to ensure cursor tracking is on? Thanks.
