Speakup reports "no window" when I pres the arrow keys.

Speakup reports "no window" when I pres the arrow keys.

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-722-7209]

Hi all,

      I was playing with holding down the shift key and pressing the keys 
on the num-pad.  The effect seemed to be as if Speakup wasn't loaded, which 
is cool if you want to use the keypad in the regular way.  Somehow, I got 
Speakup into a state that whenever I press the arrows in the inverted tee, 
Speakup says "no window".  I imagine that if I unloaded Speakup and 
reloaded it, the problem would clear.  The arrows seem to behave correctly 
in every other way.  I can move through the bash history, although I have 
to press keypad 8 to find what history line I'm on.

      Any ideas?

Sounds like you've gotten yourself into read window mode. To get out
of it, simply press numpad-asterisk, which will take you to cursoring
off, and get rid of that message. I can't find a way for doing this
on a laptop keyboard, but holding the fn key, along with probably one
of the regular number keys I think, should emulate that. Hth.

Thanks.  That did the trick.  Shows how little I've explored the other 
cursor modes.

           Thanks again.
