When I am reading a tree view my jaws reads what I am leaving and what I am 
coming to. Is there a setting I should change?

1. Why does my Eclipse open where I left off yesterday. This might be great, 
but when I am just frustrated and want to start from the beginning, this is 
agrivating.

...that is the default behavior and I haven't found a way to change it in 
nearly six years of using Eclipse.

2. Using alt + w + v + p I have the thing saying my source is open after I have 
hit enter on it. How do I then get from that to my actual source? 

...with those key strokes you are placed in a tree view.... Using the right 
arrow key will expand the node you are on. Left arrow key will colloapse the 
node. Up and down arrow keys will move you in the prescribed direcction. Once 
you have located the file in question just hit enter. If you want to be more 
specific with the class, again use the arrow keys right and left.

3. How do I compile the source?

...in the document that I wrote, that Anna provided there is a section on that 
topic.

4. How do I run the object?

...see the comment above.

Compiling and running in Textpad was so simple. It was just control + 1 or 
control + 2.

5. I am part of a class and the class was using Eclipse and the class saw right 
away when something incorrect was typed. I doubt we do, but does a JAWS user 
have such a luxury?

...not at the moment but I'm trying to get my head around scripting and should 
have something in a little while.

Please be patient. I might have more questions.

Susie

A friend found it for me on the internet. She won't be back until tomorrow. I 
can let you know then.

Hi Everyone,
 
I am pasting Eclipse access information below my name. Maybe this is old to 
you, but it wasn't to me. I am just beginning.
 
Susie
 
The user interface is navigable using the keyboard. The Tab key is used to 
iterate through the controls in a particular scope (for example, a dialog or a 
view and its related icons). To navigate to the main controls for the Workbench 
window or to tab out of views that use the Tab key (such as editors) use 
Ctrl+Tab.

Menus

Most menus are assigned mnemonics for each entry which allow you to select them 
by typing the underlined letter instead of the mouse. You can also select an 
item by moving through the menus and sub-menus with the arrow keys. 

The various menus available can be accessed using the keyboard in the following 
ways: 

F10 accesses the menus on the main menu bar. 

Shift+F10 pops up the context menu for the current view. (Note: this 
Shift+shortcut is actually dependent on your window manager, but for 
Shift+most people it should be Shift+F10.)

Ctrl+F10 will open the pull down menu for the current view if there is one. For 
editors, Ctrl+F10 will open the menu for the marker bar on the left of the 
editor area. 

Alt+mnemonic will activate the Workbench menu for a particular entry (e.g., 
Alt+W will bring down the Window menu). 

Microsoft Windows only: Pressing Alt will give focus to the menu bar. 

Controls

Mnemonics are assigned to most control labels (e.g., buttons, checkboxes, radio 
buttons, etc.) in dialog boxes, preference pages, and property pages. To access 
the control associated with a label, use the Alt key along with the letter that 
is underlined in the label.

Navigation Context

Navigation context is saved for the packages, navigator views, Workbench 
preferences and properties dialogs. The selected page for the preferences and 
properties dialog is saved between invocations of the dialog but are not saved 
between workbench invocations. 

Cycling Editors, Views and Perspectives 

To switch between editors, views and perspectives, the workbench provides a 
cycling function that is invoked by Ctrl and a function key. All of these 
cycling functions recall the last thing selected to allow for rapid cycling 
back and forth between two items. The cycling functions are 

Ctrl+F6 - Cycle to Editor

Ctrl+F7 - Cycle to View

Ctrl+F8 - Cycle to Perspective

Also, Ctrl+E can be used to activate the editor drop-down, and Ctrl+PageUp and 
Ctrl+PageDown can be used for switching between the open editors.

Accelerators 

Many of the actions in Eclipse have an accelerator assigned to them. For 
additional information on accelerators, see Keys. 

Quick Access 

To quickly access UI elements such as views, commands, preference pages, and 
others, you can use the Quick Access dialog, available under Window > 
Navigation > Quick Access and bound to Ctrl+3 by default. Start typing in the 
filter field to see matches. For example, to open the help view, type Ctrl+3 
followed by "help". One of the first matches will be to open the help view; 
other matches show commands and preference pages related to help. You can use 
the arrow keys to select a different match for a given filter string. Press 
Enter to select the highlighted entry. This will execute the command, or open 
the view, perspective, or wizard etc.

Help system

You can navigate the help system by keyboard using the following key 
combinations:

Pressing Tab inside a frame (page) takes you to the next link, button or topic 
node. 

To expand/collapse a tree node, press Right/Left arrows. 

To move to the next topic node, press Down arrow or Tab 

To move to the previous topic node, press Up arrow or Shift+Tab 

To display selected topic, press Enter. 

To scroll all the way up or down press Home or End. 

To go back press Alt+Left arrow; to go forward press Alt+Right arrow. 

To go to the next frame, or toolbar press Ctrl+Tab (Ctrl+F6, if using Mozilla, 
or Mozilla based browser). 

To move to previous frame, press Shift+Ctrl+Tab. (Shift-Ctrl+F6, if using 
Mozilla, or Mozilla based browser). 

To move to the frame displaying topic content press Alt+K (when using embedded 
help browser on Windows, or Internet Explorer). 

To move to Contents tab, press Alt+C 

To move to Search Results tab, press Alt+R 

To move between tabs, press Right/Left arrows. 

To switch view, select a tab and press Enter. 

To switch and move to a view, select a tab and press Up arrow. 

To move to the search entry field, press Alt+S 

To print the current page or active frame, press Ctrl+P. 

To find a string in the current page or active frame, press Ctrl+F (when using 
embedded help browser on Windows, or Internet Explorer). 

Most labels of controls on help system pop-up dialogs have mnemonics are 
assigned to them. To access the control associated with a label, use the Alt 
key along with the letter that is underlined.

Jim,

 

It's great, but it's exactly what Susie advised you to do, she even sent the 
explaination document.

Here's another way of formatting the string portion: 

return String.format("%05d", recLen); 

I ended up using the above and by strongly impressing upon the COBOL people the 
error of there ways when defining the field as a numeric I got my own way. 
....and I only had to hold my breath for 10 minutes. Sometimes when you don't 
have to look at the bewildered looks upon others faces you can accomplish lots.
