Brian,


Part of the problem you're having with Narrator and the context menu has 
to do with how the screen reader works when in and out of scan mode.


Of course, you know that you turn scan mode on and off by pressing caps 
lock + space. Scan mode is what we think of as review mode or screen 
reader mode: When scan mode is on, Narrator makes it easy to move around 
the screen so we can "see" everything, but the computer doesn't always 
behave the way we expect. For example, when you're in your email reader 
with scan mode off, pressing down-arrow moves you from one message to 
another, but when you're in your email reader with scan mode on, 
pressing down-arrow moves you through the header of one message (i.e., 
sender, recipient, time stamp, subject) before moving on to the header 
of the next message. On top of that, when scan mode is off, pressing 
enter on a message opens it, but when scan mode is on, pressing enter on 
a message does nothing.


In the case of the Jeff Dreams site, turning scan mode on makes it 
possible to jump from heading to heading with the letter h, but while 
scan mode is on, pressing the context key does nothing because 
technically nothing has focus. If you turn scan mode off and tab to the 
title (like I described in my last post), pressing the context key opens 
up the context menu so you can down-arrow to Save As, then press enter 
there to download your movie.


Hope this helps.


Ciao
