The sad thing is that what Derek hankers after is available within leopard, you are able to automate many repetitive operations in to a few keystrokes, the fact that this is so little known speaks volumes as to the lack of information out there for the visually impaired user but then access technology providers have no interest in a screen reader that comes free in the operating system and therefore no profit to them.

Derek, Derek, I think "DOS" perfectly describes what the programmers at Microsoft do all day! considering how "Popular" windows is, I would have thought they would have made it fully accessible by now without the need foradding expensive software like JAWS. It is a fact that most people whouse Apple Macs, swear by them, unlike the rest of us, that swear at Microsoft! Dave Dave says "Reliable, easy to use!! I hope you aren't referring to Windows and JAWS!!" Would you want to turn clock back to the days of DOS? Oh I miss the "bat" files. Remember how we could create a file, that would then do a number of commands automatically.
