Hi Steve, I don't need to use mouse keys to check the boxes on the Take Control site (see my previous post), but here's a link to an old post from the macvisionaries archives: • Re: mouse keys http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/msg64233.html
You can skip most of the explanation, and just set up Mouse Keys to turn on and off with by pressing the Option key 5 times quickly under System Preferences > Accessibility (used to be "Universal Access" in earlier version of the OS) under the Mouse & Keyboard options, and if you're using Mountain Lion, you can also use Command-Option-F5, I think, to get to the panel to enable or disable Mouse Keys. Make sure to do the verbosity set-up in VoiceOver utility that Anne described. (It's explained in more detail in the linked post). Then you can click on controls using your "i" key. HTH.
