I would appreciate any input, or suggestions on
the following problem.
I am using a Vax, and the Vms operating system at my college.
When using the Vax's built-in editor, Edit, the cursor does not
track the correct position of a line, when you are in an active arrowing
mode.  This occurs with Jaws, Buviness Vision, and Screen Reader.
Usually, the speech will indicate that you are on a different line than
you are on, and thus will read the wrong line.
Any input on why this might be happening, solutions to try,
or speech software that would work properly would be appreciated, as
other
students are also having problems using statistical packages on the Vax
because of this.
As a short-term solution, people have created files off-line, and then
uploaded them to the Vax.
Thanks,
Mika Pyyhkala
