Hi Ant,
    I could be wrong, but I think on the dashboard, you use the window
chooser menu, VO keys F2 twice and select them from there.  Please correct
me if I am wrong.

Take Care

Hi Vickie;

How do you select the different widgets or applications?

In other words, when I pull up my dashboard, the only application that seems
to come up is the calculator.
