Hi George
Please take phone numbers with you and get in touch with us here in Texas.  
Mine is 512-377-0654 in the Braille Unit at the Texas Commission for the Blind. 
 We'll see you get the full Texas treatment, big steaks and the best beer you 
ever had.  You must feel like a doctor at a party with folks lining up with 
their plates of snacks and wanting to ask you ten million questions about DBT.  
I discussed the yellow line for the translated line with someone who works in 
our technology unit and she said it is very difficult to get to with jaws.  I 
have never found it yet.  Apparently, a person using large print screen readers 
like Zoomtext can get to it fairly easily.  I would like to see Duxbury work 
closely with Freedom Scientific to work out some bugs together as I am 
currently using a jaws version in the three series because when I put the four 
series on, jaws read blank lines where there was text in Duxbury.  This did not 
occur in Word.  I know of other people who have seen this problem as well.  
Have a safe trip and I hope we get a chance to meet you.

Care to elaborate, or shall I just surprise myself?
