I don’t think he said that the clicking should be obvious if you hadn’t used a

remember for sure. I know what click and double click are, but I don’t know 
what it means to right click or left click either. Course I may not be a great 
user either. LOL.

Cindy,

          Thanks for your input.  Since yours is the easiest response to 
respond to, I'll do it first.

          Your interpretation of what I'm saying with regard to something like 
double click meaning activate, single click meaning select, etc., is the 
correct one.  As old school as I am, I often use "Return" for "Enter" and I 
warn people about that, too.  For those on here who are really old school and 
of a programmer bent, there are times when CR/LF (carriage return, line feed), 
the two separate actions that make up an Enter when dealing with text, still 
occasionally pass my mind.

          Just FYI, any time you hear "click" without a modifier that would 
equate to a left click on the mouse.  It just became custom to say click 
"naked" instead of "left click" because right click is used relatively 
infrequently, as opposed to left click, click, and double click.

          I also should have noted that the majority, though not all, of my 
clients were formerly sighted and virtually all have some pretty extensive 
computer experience during that period.  I actually don't think I've had 
anyone, even who's always been blind, who has had no computer experience at all 
prior to my services being requested.

Brian
