Hi Bill, Lots of times speech with commands is not reliable. Example: You say: and a right arrow will give the date of the file, if there is one in the folder.
If I have a single file in the folder and press ctrl-numpad-5 I do get the file name. But, the above right arrow idea says either "period" or nothing depending on how many times I try it. I tried right arrow on the numpad, I tried ctrl-right arrow on the numpad and then just right arrow and ctrl-right arrow just to make sure. I can provide lots of examples to make the point as well. Another example just might help: The manual says press ctrl-shift-m and you will hear the selected text. But, with the beta we are told oh, that doesn't work now because of the new text selection capabilities. The truth of the matter is it depends on where you are when you press the keystroke. In ie it doesn't work, browse buffer is no more and so it's changed. But, as I write this message to you it does work ... when I select text and press ctrl-shift-m it does work ... why? Because I am not in either the old or the new browse modes. So, when you say: I'm confused as to why it would be necessary to verify that there are no files in the folder by using the mouse. The above should clear up all confusion.

I'm confused as to why it would be necessary to verify that there are no files in the folder by using the mouse. If control shift s says nothing, then there is no file in the folder. You can also use control numpad 5 to speak the file name and a right arrow will give the date of the file, if there is one in the folder.
