Dear Miss Pat,
Your question regarding Ms. margaret's screenreader is answered in your quoted post further down below. She is using jaws but also wants to learn we. Between the bunch of us on here, it looks as if Ms. Margaret is going to be a Eudora Pro really soon.
Miss Margaret, I am afraid there are no current podcasts on Eudora. Eudora is abandonware and no longer supported and most podcasts focus on newer programs. 

Have you found a tutorial geared at the blind or sighted Eudora users or both.
A guy in the u.K did a tutorial on eudora years ago that was aimed at blind users and that is still largely relevant today but I don't think it can be purchased anymore.
Now a question to our list daddy: If Eudora is abandonware and a tutorial for it is no longer sold, can the tutorial then be considered a "abandontut" and be distributed? <g>
For now, Miss Margret, if you go to your jaws window and into the help for jaws, look at the section of "jaws with popular aplications". This should help getting you started.
On a totally diferent note, are you the DECTalk Margaret I read of on another list? 

Cheers,

Doris



Dear Margaret,
I think there is enough people on this list who would love to help you, including me. <smile> 

Eudora is loving! <smile>
It's the first Windows program I started using in 1996, and I have used it since then. 

It's stable, and it's really great.

What screen reader are you using?

Pat and All,
I found some tutorials for Eudora but, so far, no podcasts. Does anyone know of any? Podcasts for other programs that I've heard have given me some idea of what the program is like and what I might be getting myself in for if I decide to give them a whirl. 

Thanks,

Margaret

Dear Margaret,

I'm using Eudora 7.1.0.9 and I'm loving it with Windows Seven 64 Bit.

I use Window-Eyes or System Access.

Blessings,
