thanks.  I know, I'm getting there.  

I guess I just get a little discouraged when I think it's been a year in June 
since I've had this thing.  Even though, I didn't really touch it out of 
frustration until July or August:)

It's because of kind people like you that have made it so easy to learn.  

the nearest Apple store is about an hour away, and I doubt very serious they 
would know anything about voiceover, so I didn't get any formal training.  It's 
all been by the seat of my pants and people like you to help me.

thanks again to all.

Jenny
