Lee, I too am slightly confused about this, especially using the Mouse cusor.
>From my understanding they Keyboard cursor is what you use to move around the >screen with the keyboard. The VO cursor by default is already with the >keyboard cursor. If the VO cursor moves, it will announce what it is. So in a way for a sighted person, if you use a mouse you see the arrow, and move it around, it don't select anything. But if you have the VO cursor snapped to the mouse it will announce anything the mouse pointer moves over. That is same as keyboard cursor. So if you tell the VO cursor to stay there, you will not hear anything when you navigate throughout the screen. For example if you are doing instant messageing. You can snap the VO cursor to the last message. Then you type you can type without the VO moving, so in that way you can get an ongoing conversation instead of having to press VO j to jump back n forth. As for the mouse cursor, I have not yet seen the advantage of it yet. So hopefully someone can comment on that.
