Hi,
According to me, you would just figure out which keystrokes do the mouse 
functions the tutorial talks about and go from there. The only thing that you 
might need to get the hang of, as Ken said, is the terminology they use. The 
way I remember it is that the smallest thing is an editor. Outside that is a 
view, which is a box of things. One of them can be an editor. Outside that is a 
perspective, which is a box of views. Outside that is the work space. Outside 
that is the workbench, which is the whole GUI thing.

As far as key strokes go, once again, think from small to big. Control F6 
switches forward between editors. Control F7 switches forward between views. 
Control F8 switches forward between perspectives. You just add Shift to those 
to go backward. You can go a long way on just those key strokes.

So there's no reall access issues with this program, meaning i can
follow along with any tutorial that has been written on the subject?
