Hi, Nick: Glad to hear you got mplayer working. It sounds like you should discover the Speakup clipboard. Notice what Speakup says when you press the key immediately to the right of numlock. Now, to use the clipboard, maneuver your reading cursor to the beginning of the text you want to copy to the clipboard and press that key to the right of numlock, so that it says "mark." Next, maneuver the Speakup screen review cursor to the end of the text you want to clipboard and press that key to the right of numlock again--so that it says "cut." Now you can go wherever you need, perhaps even a text editor in an entirely different console and press that same key again, but with Insert. It will say "paste" and the text you put in the clipboard will be pasted. Of course, you can paste as many times as you wish, but you get only one clipboard. W.
