Dave,
Yes, I just had a look, and in the "Window-Eyes Features" section, there's "working with the internet", and in this chapter is a topic for "place markers". I did a quick experiment and found j and k move you forward and backward through the list of whatever placemarkers you've defined for that page, and control-shift-k opens a dialog which allows you to define your current location as a place marker. I did this on the google search page so that I can find the beginning of the search results and skip over the add results, and it seemed to work great.

Is there a tutorial on these nifty things?
