Hi Terrance, If you can get gnome running, put in an Emacspeak icon. Clicking on this will give you Emacspeak from which you can run shell (M-x `shell' RET) or a root shell (C-e C-r) or a terminal (M-x term); the last is not recommended for really visually challenged people since Emacspeak doesn't work too well in this situation.
I use gnome though not Oralux and my .xinitrc launches X windows with gnome as window manager and emacspeak running. I do have the doggy icon on the desktop anyway for the very rare occasion when I've gotten myself into a tangle and have to quit emacs. I prefer this to shutting down X by doing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, because if I quit emacs files are auto-saved and can be recovered. HTH, Kalyan _______________________________________________ Oralux mailing list Oralux@lists.freearchive.org http://lists.freearchive.org/mailman/listinfo/oralux
