Hi Terry, COncerning Terminal, you're not quite correct. It is quite possible to review the screen. All you need do first is interact with the shell text area so that you can then use standard VO commands to read the screen. As far as Preview is concerned, you can get it back by finding a PDF file, and hitting cmd-i, to open the Get Info window. One of he sections in that window lets you select which program to open the file with, as well as whether to use that same program for all files of that type. Hope this helps, Zack..
