i do use opera but have forgotten which keys to press to get the voice
speaking ... and thanks for the offer but there are a few sites to do and
obviously any works in progress so i'll see if i can get myself 'jaws' so i

site that reads perfectly with a screen reader so i can study it. thanks
very much again.
