I have a question for all you window-eyes users out there.  I recently
downloaded a freeware ham radio program called airmail available from the
airmail website at http://www.airmail2000.com.  This program is used to
drive terminal node controllers such as the Cantronics Kam or the pk232
mbx.  When I invoke the program I hit insert a to let window-eyes tell me
what's going on.  Eventually I have to turn this feature off because if I
don't the program continuously tells me the time which is marginally
useful.  I am running window-eyes 4.211 on a pentium class machine running
128 megs of ram.  I tried using win-link and all the modules locked my
system up.  When I contacted the author, he indicated airmail has keyboard
support and to a certain extent I can invoke it from the file menu but when
I first invoke the program, the arrow keys should work yet they don't.  How
do I invoke the keyboard support so I can join my colleagues in utilizing
such hf digital modes as amtor pactor I and II etc?  Is there aybody on the
list who has found something that works?  I may have to revert back to an
old dos-based telecommunications program called Commo if someone doesn't
have any other suggestions. 73- pat kk3f
