Question on Using Orca

[Willie Walker]

Hi Pete:

You can find documentation on Orca at 
http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/stable/ats-2.html

Keep in mind that we designed flat review as an escape mode for 
ill-behaved applications.  The primary operating mode of Orca is "focus 
tracking mode", which is where you interact with the application using 
the built-in keyboard navigation techniques of GNOME (e.g., Tab, 
Shift+Tab to move between components).

Hope this helps,

Will
