Matt,

I am confused.  Are you talking about keyboard commands in Screen access?  If 
so, look at their help file.  They have a global list of keyboard commands for 
the various applications.

You can toggle keyboard help on with modifier-shift-f8.

Steve, K8SP

however, I think but am not sure, system access is only a 30 minute demo,
however if you get the demo or trial of freedombox, both turn into a 30
day thing, or maybe just fb itself, again, i'm not sure.  Just be aware,
that if you get rid of freedombox but have registered an account, they
will keep your email address so if you try to do another demo, you are
s.o.l unless you have another email and use different info
thats the first thing i have noticed, and that the keypad keys, do not
work normally or if they do, please let me know because I have messed up
many an emaiol thinking i could use the keypad as the mouse/review cursor
