I used to do this in dos all the time.  It gets easier with practice.

I don't know how anyone uses Duxbury without a braille display.  I think
it
would be so tedious for a speech user to rely solely on speech.

David, thanks for pointing out that JFW only speaks up to the
non-alpha-numeric character in DBT.

For ages people have been saying that one can read the codes ok with
speech
and I have been finding that I could only read some codes and parts of
others.  I had come to the belief that I must have had something within
my
JFW set wrongly but as it appeared to work well with other programs I
had
not worried about trying to change it.

I do, though find it extremely frustrating when some codes are spoken
properly and others need the two cursors to be routed before getting the
required info.

Many thanks for explaining so concisely why my problem was occuring.  I
feel
so stupid that such a logical answer had not dawned on me.

Regards and thanks

Christine
