>From a purist's point of view, the end key should probably not read the rightmost word on a line. the logic to be used for cursor movements that do not generate printable chars is roughly the following:
if no_vertical movement & no_vertical scroll then if horizontal_movement > 1 then read word starting at cursor; else -- horizontal movement is of only one place read char at cursor; endif else -- there is vertical displacement do_other_stuff endif; According to this logic, as the end-key moves the cursor beyond the rightomost word on a line, K1K should announce the word 'blank', or 'space' or 'endline' or something like it. The problem of reading the rightmost word on the line is that this misleads the user into believing that the cursor is actually at the beginning of this word, which in most cases it is not. I have used very slight variants of this logic in the designs of the IBM Screen Reader for Dos, for OS/2, and more recently for similar functionality in Home Page Reader. Guido Guido D.

Are these PC-card adapters? I've never seen A PC card adapter for more than one card type. <*** Michael Lang ***> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
