A request similar to this one seems to be posted about once a month.
Unless the poster lucks up and finds a reader who has the needed software
and/or hardware, the request will simply wind up on disk (somewhere).
The most active support of handicapped/disabled people is in the Forums
on Compu$erve.  There are several Forums that have different thrusts, and
there should be someone on the Disabilities Forum that can provide direction
to the right place for the needed software/hardware.  I know there is an
IBM (MS-DOS) Forum that is dedicated to computer interfaces for the
disabled/handicapped, and I'm confident that there will be support for the
Apple (and other popular computers) as well.
