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.
