Col, here are some tips for working with skype that I have used.
First, most items you need are in the menus. the odd thing is the
answer call item is not. hang up is.  Using the item chooser list can
hep you get around fairly easy if you know what your looking for.
Press vokeys-i and type the first few letters of the text or control
and you should see it in the list as you up and down arrow. Also, some
of the skype controls do have help tags to find out what they are.
press vokeys-h when on an unlabeled button and hear it's name or what
it does.  Contacts do not have to be imported from one machine to
another. they are stored on the skkype servers and will be visible on
whatever machine you log in too.  What I usually do is when I sign in
to skype I use fokeys right arrow to find the table of contacts.  If
you have voicemail or want to see missed calls if you vokeys-left
arrow to the unlabeled button press vokeys-help and you should hear
something like show history or show missed events.  When you click
this you will see a table to the right of the contacts view. I believe
to the right of that is another unlabeled button called show history.
if the first button you pressed was show history rathern then misssd
events then the second button I believe turns back in to show
contacts.  use vokeys-h to find out what these buttons do.  Also, when
in a call hanging up is easy. What I found easiest is pressing vokeys-
end to go to the bottom of the visible area. there is an unlabeled
button that when pressing vokeys-h will say hang up. this can be
pressed by pressing vokeys-spacebar.  Hangup is also in the call
menu.  I find this button a little easier.  Have a great day.
