Hi there Sue and all.

May I explain how I have to do things,

To read a message, I have to use the cursor keys to find the message I
want, hit the alt key scroll down the file menu to open to get the message
to open, once the message has opened I have to scroll down each line of
text, waiting for the speech system to read it out, sometimes it doesn't so
I'm up and down with the cursor keys until it does. Once done, I'm in to
the file menu of the message to close the message and then the file menu of
the mail program to find delete, not a second of a job either but certainly
quick enough to get through all of my messages but slower than scurrying
around the screen with a mouse as you can get right there to the buttons
with that but I'm in and out of menus all night. When I'm using Word I
have to press the alt key about five or six times once in the open file box
just to get a file open,

Don't want to make an issue of this but it is a lot slower when you can't
see what you're doing.

Tracey.
