Hi again!
Well under Snowy Kitty and thanks to Esther's directions I've found the Apple
Script that is the one that VO use's with Right option key and T So I will post
just below what Apple says about using the script and the Script itself [but I
do not know if it is different under Lion or Mountain Lion]
