Hi Andy,
You can set the home page in preferences, a bit like in Finder, you get there
by pressing command comma. Btw I'm sure you've found this already, but the fn
key and f2 will bring up a menu. A bit like with Windows screen readers, VO
will read shortcuts associated with commands where they exist.
You can use f and shift f to move forward and backwards between edit boxes, or
text fields as the Mac calls them.
Hth,
Ed
