I was trying to figure some things out with my son.
We did a few things with HSC, but the search menu wouldn't open,. HSC would put 
the curser there, but no click action.
Spencer said, "dad, I think we can do something with the mouse".
I didn't think it would work, and was opposed to the idea, but he removed the 
ball, so it wouldn't accidently move from where HSC put the curser, and by 
golly, when I use it to left click on the search menu, a whole new wonderful 
world of possibilities opens up, and man, I love it.
What a great idea my boy had!
You bet I'm tickled, not just cause it works, but because my son knew it would 
work, and managed to get me to listen, and try it out!
What a deal folks.
I type in piano, and I get a mess of them. I can either arrow down to the first 
one, or do the key stroke that HSC allows us to use to get there. When I get to 
the bottom of what's on the screen, another key stroke enables me to continue 
down the list till I've checked out as many as there are!
What a blast. It's really the best patch brouser I've played with.
If you're as anti mouse, as I was, you might think I'm out of my mind, but I'm 
tellin' ya, this is a dream come true for me. I thought I spent a few hundred 
bucks on something that was gonna be awful hard to work with. Now, I have a new 
soft synth that is more fun than anything I've used for quite sometime.
I just wish there was some way to make Spencer a little money for such a great 
idea, but really, anyone can do it.
He just made it happen for me, so I guess it's up to me to do the compensating! 
Lol.
Let me tell you,
I'm mighty happy to do it!
I'm sure this won't solve every access issue, but I wonder if there are other 
things this might work with, when jaws doesn't wanta click for some reason.
