The below is easily possible in vs2005 at least. If you go into the settings, under bu8ild options somewhere (I forgot exactly since I haven't been there in a long time), there is a choice to allow the compiler to show the error list/window upon build/compile failure. When you are in this list, hitting enter on a error message actually instantly jumps you to the code line where the error is and highlights it in a certain color. I know the color doesn't help a total blind person, but at least jaws jumps to the exact line being complained about. All you have to do now is hide the error window (alt shift h), fix the line of code and then press f5/control f5/f6 to rebuild again... 2. The usability. A programming environment should be made thinking to the blind programmers needs also, and a blind programmer should be able to configure the environment as he wants. For example, what does a sighted programmer after he runs a program in Eclipse or VS.net and it gives an error? I think that he looks too se what was the error. So, for the sighted programmer is easy to take a look in the wanted pane, but a blind programmer should be able to configure the application so after it runs the program and gives the error, the focus to be automaticly placed in the errors pane. And he should be able to move the focus to the code pane immediately. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
