Hi again Sharon. I have been so frustrated with the VO space command not working the way I'm used to that I got desperate and double tapped the track pad to see what would happen. It was not turned on, but I may consider turning it on if no other reason than it will take the place of this thing. Quite by accident, I found that even with the track pad commander turned off, it will make the selection. I did have one time when it didn't, but I will test some more and see if it will work. Maybe you can join me in testing it, too.
