Um what kind of tuter message do you want?  It is a standard button!

The information bar only appears when something triggers it--like, for 
example, a popup being blocked.  It's not necessary to "quickly press
alt 
n", but merely pressing it will put focus on the information bar, at
which 
point pressing the space bar will actually display the menu.  It's a bit

tricky, I'll admit--since, obviously, Freedom didn't implement any sort
of 
tutor message or anything alerting users as to what to do in the event
of 
the information bar being displayed, but according to the JAWS help
system, 
the process I've just described is the method for accessing the
information 
bar.  Mark
