Dear George,
Thanks for the reassurance! WindowEyes is my screen reader and I know that
Don is very helpful to people who use WindowEyes.
I also appreciate the help you have given to all of us here on the list.

: Hi Terri,
:
: Don't get too worried about access to the Help System with Window Eyes. I
only mentioned JAWS because I know for a fact that Freedom Scientific use
exactly the same program to create the Help system as we do. So I guess
really what I was saying was that if you can use JAWS Help, you should be
able to use DBTs.
:
: However, Window Eyes is what Don Breda uses as his preferred screen
reader, so you can be sure that if there were any problems there, Don would
be down on my head like a ton of rocking horse manure.
:
: George.
