	Press '+' (Plus) on the numeric keypad to read the entire
screen.  If you toggle cursoring on by pressing the second from the
top, right-most key on the numeric keypad, speakup's cursor will track
with your program's cursor.  Unfortunately, it cannot move the program's
cursor, as speakup is only aware of what's being displayed on the
screen, and not what the software is or how it moves it's cursor.
You'll basically need one hand on the cursor controls, and the other on
the speakup controls.  I wish they made the cursor pad on the left of
the alphanumeric keys, so it would be more convenient for people who
like using both hands simultaneously.  I also wish they made braille key
caps, too, but I guess we can't have everything.  Anyway, play around
with it long enough and it will soon become second nature.  HTH,
