As I said before, I haven't actually used it in a long time, so I don't recall all the details. But, have you tried alt-F4, to close the link/article you are reading, and return to the list of articles; or, perhaps, alt-right-arrow, to go Back.Sorry, I no longer have the program installed on my computer. I'm working on learning to use Firefox as my RSS client. ----- Original Message ----- From: "golden" <golden789@xxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 7:25 PM Subject: Re: RSS Feedsi'm testing FeedReader today. i'm getting rather confused how it works.having finished reading a news item, i am still unable to find a way to get back to the main feed to check out other news items.more pointers please----- Original Message ----- From: "Dana S.

Put the JAWS cursor/mouse pointer on the link; right click; choose copy shortcut from the context menu. That will put the URL into the paste buffer. 2. Highlight the link in the JAWS links dialogue; virtualize the window; take the virtual cursor down to the bottom line of the dialogue, where the URL is shown; and copy it into your paste buffer. but, be careful with this method. Often, the URL shown is only a relative path, not the full URL you will need to enter into Feedreader's Add Feed Dialogue. 3. If all else fails, you can always click on the RSS link; let the page open; and go to the address bar and copy the URL from there into the paste buffer.Of course, once you have gotten the URL into the paste buffer by whichever means, you just paste it into the Add Feed Dialogue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sabaruddin Isa" <golden789@xxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 11:20 PM Subject: Re: RSS FeedsMind giving us more pointers about extracting feeds address from the rss links?Thanks On 12/22/08, Dana S.
