I forgot something. Although you can't assign Braille key commands unless you have the ability to write Braille on your display, you may be able to assign commands to your trackpad. I haven't done this, so someone else on this list will have to help you to do that if you want to do that. Either that, or you may want to call that wonderful 877-204-3930 number. That is the Apple Accessibility number for blind and deaf customers. Gigi
