I just assigned it here in this Thunderbird composition window and it
worked fine here, in Notepad, Wordpad, Word, and just for good measure,
IE, that is when not in browse mode.
Here's what I suggest assuming you want a global assignment.
1. Close all windows until you're sitting on the desktop.
2. Open the Window-Eyes control panel.
3. Control-O and open Default.set.
4. Go to Cursor keys and right arrow to expand it.
5. Arrow down once to Keys and then tab once. make sure it says Global,
backspace, First action, etc. Global is the key word here.
6. Press the letter R once. This will land you on Right arrow.
You can select either Prior character after or Character before as they
do the same thing.
7. Control-S to save the set file.
8. Control-O and reload Explorer.set.
9. Ponder whether it is necessary for all instructions to have ten steps.
10. Press Escape to touch back down on planet desktop and celebrate.
Hth,
Tom

I know it has but I have always redefined the right arrow to read the
character just left. I got used to that way of doing it back before the
IBM PC came on the scene and I was using an Apple II with a Street
Electronics screenreader that came with the Echo II speech synthesizer.
It has the advantage that you don't have to use one key to get the
character you are on and another key to get successive characters as you
arrow right. I can live with the right arrow reading the character
landed on, but I shouldn't have to as it wasn't necessary till WE9 came
along. I have no idea why my installation would be different from three
GW employees. I have been redefining cursor keys since it became
possible, so it doesn't seem likely I am doing something different. Of
course it is always possible senility is setting in. That's an ugly
thought!!!
