Vic, I think the point your missing is that how a sighted person works
with the cursor while editing verses how a blind person using a screen
reader uses the cursor is different and that should not be the case.
The way both sighted and non-sighted folks perform the same task on
the Mac is not different. THis is how it really should be. You should
be able to edit a document in the same manner all be it with the
keyboard verses the mouse. Understanding where that cursor is in
relation to the words or characters will help when you are
communicating possibly with a sighted colleague.
This is at least how I'm interpreting this thread. It's not saying
that one OS does it right or wrong, it's the screen readers I gather
on the windows platform that present it incorrectly. However, if I
interpreted the facts inaccurately, I have no doubt someone will
correct me.

Hey guys,
I hear you all, Mac fans, and this is awsome that you love this OS.
Just FYI, I love 'em all!
But please be careful when you make statements like "this is the way
it should be". It was very constructive to hear explanations on how
cursor works on the Mac and let's leave it at that. I'd simply say,
this is the way it is...
Thanks,
Vic
