Hi:

I have been using Money Talks with speech off and braille on for the=20
screen reader, and self-voicing on.  I need to report that for a=20
Window-Eyes user, this could be a problem.  I am getting no braille on=20
the display.   It seems to be sticking the display at the far right of=20
the window.  If I press the Right read key with wrap turned on, I go=20
immediately to the next line of text.  As I cursor up and down=20
transactions, I only see the characters "cc" at the left edge of the=20
braille display (custom control in WE parlance).

In Virgo, you see the first characters of each transaction while=20
cursoring up and down.  If you move left and right on a transaction, =
the=20
highlighting moves along the braille line accordingly.  If you move the=20
highlighting far enough to the right, it disappears off the right end =
of=20
the display, leaving the braille showing and moving up and down the =
left=20
side of the screen.  You must use the left/right keys for display=20
navigation to move over to the cursor, if you want to do that.  To me,=20
this is ok.  Purely as an aside though, I'd do different things with a=20
braille display if I could.

Now that I've seen how Moneytalks uses highlighting, maybe I can=20
discover a setting in WE to make it act similarly.
