Hi Richard, I don't have much of an impression just yet. I was going to start going through the O'reilly book about vi and vim on Bookshare. I did a little tweaking with JAWS by scripting just a little to make some things either stop talking too much or talk correctly. Mostly, on my system, something at the bottom of the screen started repeating the word backslash instead of saying what was going on when I was hitting right arrow. I fixed that with a script. The whole window was talking, so I made a modified version of the say non highlighted text function. I really haven't done any serious editing yet. I'm going to start going through the book and seeing how that goes. I think it will probably go pretty well, now that I have those little pieces of code in place. I'll keep you posted on the results.
