If you're going to use terminal, it may help to lock the vo keys on while using it.

don't know about your phone. Terminal is found in the utilities folder under applications. It is a text input output application that you can use for doing all sorts of interesting things. It is the text interface to the shell/unix command set. It is a bit awkward though because when you type a command, you need to use vo keys with arrows to review the output since it doesn't speak automatically. ----- Original Message ----- From: "VaShaun Jones" <vjones@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 31, 2007 1:06 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Time and Date Cool! What is terminal and what is it used for? I have a terminal services on my Pocket PC phone, do you think it is used for Mac stuff? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Poehlman" <david.poehlman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 31, 2007 12:53 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Time and Dateyou can always open up a terminal session and type time press enter, type date, press enter, or the reverse and tead the output, simpler though is to press control-f8 and left arrow to the clock. ----- Original Message ----- From: "VaShaun Jones" <vjones@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 31, 2007 12:32 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Time and Date Thanks eventually I will do this maybe by then it will be tested for Leopard. I am new to the Mac, so I cant find my way around the finder yet. I am just trying to compare what I frequently do on the PC to the Mac. ----- Original Message ----- From: Travis Siegel To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 31, 2007 12:24 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Time and Date Not by default, but you can create this behavior. go to mac.com/windowbridge (or whatever the url is members.mac.com/windowbridge maybe) and download the time date scripts I posted there. Then look at the vo programs list, download spark, install it, then assign the time, date, or both script to a keystroke. That'll do it. (and, I'm fairly certain spark works in leopard, though I've not tried it yet) at least I don't remember testing it, though it's possible I did <sigh> I really need to write this stuff down.
