Hello Steve and all who have been helping me come to terms with the Linux world. Things don't seem nearly as bleak with towering mountains of new things to learn just to run new application programs. Steve, the help command with the question mark, really did the trick! This brought most of the sc commands together into a compact bunch and I can pick and choose what I need. This help screen sort of reminds me of using Lotus in Dos using Artic Business vision. Most of the options seem the same even though the specific commands are different. That is just a matter of learning new commands. Excells command structure is quite different and I need to concentrate on the speakup commands to navigate and put the Jaws ones out of mind. thanks folks, I won't be bothering you for awhile unless I get really stuck on something! Thanks much! Ed. At 04:04 PM 1/28/2004 -0700, you wrote: >No, I was using speakup when I was in sc. Yea, I use the speakup read >line keys to verify by looking at the top part of the screen.
