Oh Ken, you disappoint me.I was more and more convinced that Orca could be used well at least with some apps, but now I hear that in order to access the command line I need to use another screen reader.
Well, this is not needed at all under Windows where I can use Jaws with apps with a GUI and with apps that run in a command line, and I even use Linux with Jaws by SecureCRT.
