Geoff's advice is absolutely on the mark. Lynx with Speakup continues to
be a powerful, and very accessible browser. However, you do need to
learn Speakup's screen review commands to use lynx effectively, because
it doesn't work the way Windows screen readers made Internet Explorer
work.

Ok I think I have worked out bits of it.


My advice is to start lynx with two key command line options--then make
these your defaults in the Options menu (accessed with by o) so you
don't have to issue this long command every time:

lynx -show_cursor -number_fields

This will cause the system cursor to track your focus on hyperlinks,
which is where you go with up and down arrow, or with TAB and Alt+TAB.
Yes, that's correct, Alt+TAB, and not Shift+TAB, which has always been
the Unix default.

Ok I'll a tempt to do that thanks.


The Lynx for users who are blind document for which you were asking a URI is at:

http://leb.net/blinux/blynx/

You can also access it on the help screen of Lynx, accessible by ?, but
this wouldn't help you if you don't yet understand how to read documents
in lynx.

I think I saw it this morning.

Two more questions:
1. How do I locate and enter info in to fields?
2. How do I navigate with brltty? Just with my thumb keys?

Thanks.
