Thanks to all for all the help. Just a note that in my experimenting I
noticed that in using zoom it resulted in not arrow key click time
reference as with normal but changing to distance whcih means that in
zoom plus it created a finer movement with the arrow key.This allowed
me to do a perfect edit of the sermon nudging right to the beginning
and a nudge to the last amen. Thanks again. And, amazing. Using the
newest version of audacity and NVDA. Start to finish, less than ten
minutes. William
