Thanks; I just found that list. I downloaded it from your site; it did not
appear to be on our lab computers. I think I'll make up some large print
versions of those docs for our students and quick emboss a version for me in
Braille.
This is such a cool product; I really wish I didn't have to be at work and
could spend the whole day just learning it!

I like that suggestion, and also wanted to make sure that you did know that
there is a separate Command List by application/subject available as well -ed.

As I worked through Lesson 2 of the tutorial last night, I realized I needed a
command summary. Not the summary of all the J-Say commands, but just a summary
of the commands in that particular lesson.
It would be helpful if at the start of each lesson, the tutorial presented a
list of phrases we would learn to issue, and conclude with that same list.
I was reading the tutorial on my Victor Reader Stream, and because the phrases
were scattered throughout the manual, it was hard to locate them. Several
times, for example I said "Say Line" when I should have said "Speak Line" and
it took me a while to realize I was the problem. Or sometimes I'd say "bottom
of document" instead of "go to bottom".
So when you re-issue the tutorial, please consider starting and ending each
lesson with a list of phrases that will be covered. This makes it much easier
to work at memorizing them or locating them should one forget.
