Interesting perspective. Have you tried more modern commandline interfaces based on non-DOS systems? Emacspeak is an audio text-based interface to Linux: http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/ PowerShell is Microsoft's new commandline interface. You can access COM and interact with other tools

Thanks for reading and for commenting. I must admit that Emacspeak sounds very interesting. But I'm still not sure whether this is just a screen reader for Linux or whether it's an accessible shell ontop of Linux that uses it's own commans etc. If the latter, it might be worth experimenting

Hi there, I wrote this in response to a personal e-mail sent to me the other night and then shared it with the Blind Computer Users list but forgot to send it here. But after today's discussion, it occurred to me that some of you are curious about it as well. I'll add this before starting.
