Thanks to all of you for the enlightenment. This is just another example of
the brilliance of Mac.
I've avoided topics concerning scripts because of my lack of knowledge. I
assumed my ignorance would wreck my computer if I used them. Now, after
experiencing the ease of this move script, I'm excited for the empowering
possibilities scripts can provide VoiceOver. Thanks for this script, and I
hope those with brains that can wrap around scripting skills will continue to
develop and share. Also, thanks for opening my mind to new ways of utilizing
VoiceOver.
