Hi Steve,
I couldn't agree with you more! From recently starting training new VI
computer users with the Shaw Trust, I try and hammer this in more or less
from day one. It was rather overwhelming to see so many individuals who were
not able to distinguish between Windows Keystrokes, and that of there chosen
Screen Access software.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Simon,
I know it does. My point is that it is not a Windows keystroke, and I am
one who believes that blind people should know the difference, between
screen reader keystrokes, and windows keystrokes, but that's another debate.
All the best
