When you press insert+F1, or one of the other keys that Speakup binds to 
itself, then Speakup will load the module if needed, and go into 
essentially a training mode.  Think of it as the keyboard help mode in 
JFW, or the learn mode of the BNS and similar products.  In other words, 
for each Speakup command you press, you will be told what it does, and 
that's it.  To get out of this mode, press space.  It also lets you use 
the arrow keys to scroll through all possible commands.

"learn mode of the BNS and similar products"? I never remember hearing
of such a thing on the bns. The language master for example yes, but
not on the bns.

I did rtfm. In fact, I did so on a 640, and a 2000, and I still don't
see mention of such a thing. Perhaps something like this may be
available on a bns scholar, which I never worked with, but it
certainly isn't there on a 640 or a 2000. It might also be available on
a bns classic, but given how limited those units were in their
functionality, I seriously doubt it.

I think the learn mode is something screen reader specific that is what is
closest to speakup's key help.  bns has a help feature the th-sign chord, what
may be what the origonal poster confused learn mode for.

Re: speakupp module question

On the Type 'N Speak, the keystroke was shift+break.  The break key acted 
as the help key when pressed by itself, and with shift, would put the unit 
in a mode where all the keys would do nothing except tell you what they 
did.  My TNS hasn't worked for years, but I seem to remember it saying 
"learn mode," when this was turned on.  Maybe, it was only on the TNS.  I 
just assumed all the BNS line had basically the same features.

Nope, I can tell you with certainty there's nothing like that on a bns
640 or 2000 running the newest June 2003 firmware. Perhaps something
like that was needed on a tns due to the qwerty keyboard?
