Anna, With your permission I'll put this up on the web. I promised Jim I'd do this right at the start of the list, but disappeared under a mountain of work. Best wishes.

I'm going to attempt a small tutorial approach for getting blind programmers up to speed on Eclipse and then ultimately Java.... This is the first time that I've attempted such but I do have lots of teaching behind me, so bare with it and me. Eclipse IDE's Workspace. Essentially you can place all of your projects into a neat self contained working area known as the Work Space. Essentially what you have is a folder structure such as C:\Work Space.... With in the WS will be many projects but for this example we will use a single project called "Vehicle.... So structurally it would be C:\Work Space\Vehicle\ and so on. Now we need to be able to set up the ws in the first place: If your Eclipse is at the root of C:; open the file at c:\Eclipse\Configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs If you right click the file and select the option Open With.... locate Notepad and check the control that asks if you want to open this file next time with Notepad.... Essentially what you have opened is a text file.... Locate the entry "SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=false", change the false to true and resave the file. Next reopen the Eclipse editor. Note you will be prompted to select a Work Space... You can either brows for the Ws or manually enter it... Do not select the option to use the Work Space as the default for all projects. Select OK and there you have your first Work Space. Jim James M. Corbett GST Division (Micro Applications) Acting CS3 IT Specialist / Acting Team Leader (613) 941-1338 "I love deadlines.
