Thanks Greg.
this seems to be my problem none of the keystrokes involving the function 
keys appear to be working.
Later, Col.

The very first thing you should do is to work through the VoiceOver
tutorial several times to bring up the tutorial press the control-
option-command and the F8 key. That would be the three keys to the
left of the spacebar and the F8 key. The F-keys are at the top or your
keyboard remember that the left most key on the top row is the escape
key so F1 is the second key on that row.
