Doris, Yes, this is Pastor David Cox in mexico city. I have to email
addresses for him which are:
[log in to unmask] or
[log in to unmask]
I have not been able so far to understand the program or its functions so
far myself. That is why I thought I would put it out on the list and see if
anybody else was aware of it and able to understand its use with a screen
reader such as Window-Eyes, which is was I have. I also put out the same
request on the GWInfo email list. You are my first response. Sounds like
neith one of us have much knowledge as yet. grin
What I am looking for is the ability to read the books he might have which
interest me. When it comes to Bibles, I like using the text file versions
of my preferred translations.
Keep me posted if you figure out some things and I will try and do the same.
Listening for His shout!
Grant
