List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all, Ralph, you want a word processor? Well, there are a couple of choices. First is VI which I think is on your system already. Second is emacs, which runs very well with speakup, but the cursoring is not as good as it might be. You might consider running emacspeak in conjunction with speakup. There's also micro emacs, a tiny version of emacs. It also works well with speakup with the cursoring problems still evident. My preference is for running emacspeak and speakup concurrently! Not sure how to tell you to set this up, somebody did it for me. But the combination is awesome! All these alternatives cost nothing! Ann P. -- Ann K.
