ok, so hold on here. Let's say I did:
cd ~
ls -1
I basically open terminal then immediately type those two commands, I don't
first vo around, I don't first interact with anything, etc. Now what
direction do I need to vo, and what will the elements say under one another
that I need to then interact with to be able to vo+up and down arrow and see
the content of the directory listing?

Subject: Re: using terminal?
Good Day:
I used Terminal successfully for an entire college semester, since I had
to remotely run programs on the Computer Science servers through SSH and
transfer files through SFTP. Two rather obvious things occur to me:
1. Are you interacting with the Shell element, which contains the text of
your session?
2. Note that you cannot use the arrow keys by themselves to read the
screen. You must use the VO-arrow keys to read the terminal output, which
does indeed include previous commands.
Again, I am having no problems with the terminal, and, much to my relief,
I don't even have to worry about scroll bars.

Hi all,
One thing I can't do is use terminal. I can cd, because vo reads the
new prompt which is your location, but that's it. For instance, if I
launch a py script, I get nothing about any errors or anything read
automatically. Worse, I can't scroll up to see my commands and the
system's responses. This is one thing windows does well; the shell is
simple and easy to look through. I am really, really hoping it's just
a setting or something I don't know about, but right now terminal
looks pretty unuseable. Any ideas would be wonderful. Thanks.
