Alex,

Where can I obtain MacHG? Can you give me a direct URL for downloading 
it? I assume I can run it from the command line using ssh. That is how I 
am working on my Mac right now. When I get a USB-to-serial adapter I'll 
connect my Braille Note and use Voiceover. 

I looked at the Murcurial download site, but I couldn't find anything to 
download. This happens to me all the time. Why are websites set up like 
that?

John
