I know it has but I have always redefined the right arrow to read the
character just left. I got used to that way of doing it back before
the IBM PC came on the scene and I was using an Apple II with a
Street Electronics screenreader that came with the Echo II speech
synthesizer. It has the advantage that you don't have to use one key
to get the character you are on and another key to get successive
characters as you arrow right. I can live with the right arrow
reading the character landed on, but I shouldn't have to as it wasn't
necessary till WE9 came along. I have no idea why my installation
would be different from three GW employees. I have been redefining
cursor keys since it became possible, so it doesn't seem likely I am
doing something different. Of course it is always possible senility
is setting in. That's an ugly thought!!!
