Hi Andrew, I am not sure about an SSH client, so I will leave that up to someone else who is knowledgeable in that area. As for your editing area, remember that the cursors act differently as far as how VoiceOver identifies characters. On the Mac, the character the cursor passes over is spoken, while the Windows way is the character to the right of the cursor. This might be what you are experiencing. As for an Office package, the Apple Pages and Numbers applications are the equivalent to Word and Excel. Take Care John D.
