George, Off the top of my head, here are a few: 1. DBT prints all of its initial manuals and help screens n file formats unique to duxbury, (dxp). In order to get help, we have to already know how to use the program. 2. Certain options which directly effect blind users are neither described nor explained. There is something called cursor tracking for example, which, if disabled, causes the screen access devices (speech and braille) to virtually freeze. Even though they may be doing what they are suposed to, we can't see anything. 3. In the system menu there is no way to determine what items are checked or not checked. Where other menus have x's which can be turned on and off via the spacebar, the system menu has no such thing. 4. There is no complete list of duxbury defaults so people can know from where they may be starting. 5. I never could find an explanation to justify my editing a file in duxbury whose keystrokes I do not know versus editing the same file in a word processor (be it word or wordperfect or lotus or any other. 6. Sometimes, when I have translated a dxp file, the codes are included with the translation. Nowhere is there information as to how to create a file without the codes. The particular example is the duxguide.dxp help screen. I'll stop now. If you are serious George, and I know you are, ask us for help. We will be more than glad to give it. I beg support and constructive suggestions froom other blind users to the list. For those who think that I am just too stupid to live, please write to me privately, rather than disturbing these other nice people.
