Hi Rose! Further to what Tim said! After turning off cursor tracking, if you lock the vo keys with command+semi colon you'll only have to down arrow through your list and when you've got to one of the items to select then just press command+space! You can also check what you've selected by just pressing the f6 key, do not forget to unlock vo keys with the same command as you used to lock them! And put on cursor tracking! hth Colin Qapla! Chegh chew jaj Vam jaj Kak
