Janina, I don't know if or how much was done in perl, but I know that portion of it is way_beyond me. I'll have to attempt to pull it apart and see what I can do with it. I will say that it was very easy to setup once I realized the answers like yes and no were set by the arrows keys and you could determine which was the active answer by moving the Speakup review keys to the yes or no and if it was black on white, it was set as the slected or active answeer and if white on black was unselected. Actually the tab key stepped you through the questions. Worked well until it barfed on the last leg of implementing the changes. Got to get a handled on that part of it. I'll ask the package maintainer if nothing else to explain what's happening and maybe I'll get it straight. tnx
