Hi Teddy,
That is correct. If you happen to land on a text field, when you type
letters, it makes you tab out. That is, if it happens to be a single line
text field. If it's a multiple line text field, it allows you to move up
and down, besides moving right and left. That makes Control+Home and
Control+End available to you. SystemAccess also lets you use the letter e
to jump to edit fields, d for drop downs (which is any kind of list field),
r for radio buttons, and so on, when focus does not happen to be on a form
field. I am going purely from memory here, so please forgive me if I am
wrong about how this works.
Thanks.

I don't understand. You said that if I start typing letters or numbers, it
makes me tab out. This means that you are referring on how it works if the
focus is in a text field, right?
But this means that you can't type letters and numbers in a text field.
This is the way Jaws works, but the other list member told that in Orca you
can type the letters and numbers in the text field, without needing to turn
a forms mode on.
Please explain.
Thanks.
Octavian
