Hi Doug:

I have to argue about the cursor a bit.  I use Screen Reader, when
set up propperly I think its the ultimate in no hands voice
output.  Screen Reader is similar to JAWS with a "pointer" mode and
a "cursor" mode.  The thing about the modes is the ability to
control pointer mode in a logical fashion, such as under macro
control, or whatever controlling software is used.  I hardly use my
extra keypad for Screen Reader now that I set it up, and the reason
that is, is due in large part to the other mode.  I don't think I
am explaining myself well at all, but it really works for some of
us.  I don't know if the approach is well suited to everyone, but
for some its the best thing since sliced bread, or braille on the
lids at McDonalds!
