SECTION THREE
A FIRST VISIT WITH VOCAL-EYES

3.1:  INTRODUCTION

In this section of your Vocal-Eyes user's guide we'll begin by  putting
your new and advanced screen reader through a few of its paces.  We'll
describe a little of what happens when text appears on your computer's
screen, and how Vocal-Eyes turns this text into usable speech.  Finally,
we'll take you on a brief guided tour of a few of Vocal-Eyes' predefined
hot keys that will enable you to read your PC's screen a character, a line,
a sentence, a paragraph or an entire screen at a time.

Do you have Vocal-Eyes up and running now?  If not, follow the
instructions in the previous section before going on.

3.2:  MAKING IT TALK

If you're working along with us, you will recall when you loaded your
Vocal-Eyes software you were presented first with the Vocal-Eyes
greeting, and after that the drive designator, A, B or C, of the drive from
which you loaded Vocal-Eyes.

Try this.  Press ENTER.  Press it again.  Did you hear your speech
synthesizer voice the drive designator again?  Press ENTER several times
more.

At first glance, Vocal-Eyes seems to be voicing the same information
again and again.  This is not precisely the case, however.  In DOS,
whenever you press the ENTER key by itself, it's like asking DOS, "What
drive am I currently logged onto?"  Pressing ENTER several times in
succession is like asking the same questions several times.  DOS will
answer your question as many times as you care to ask it.

Try this.  Type your name, and then press ENTER.  Notice how Vocal-
Eyes manages to keep up with you as you type.  It accomplishes this by
way of a feature known as interruptability.  We'll have more to say about
this feature in later sections of this manual.  For now, all you need to
know about interruptability is that whenever you press any key Vocal-
Eyes "bypasses" all previous voice response and speaks your new
character immediately.  Imagine how useful this feature will be to fast
typists.

If you haven't done so already, go ahead now and type your name and
press ENTER.  What happened?  Did DOS respond by saying "Bad
command or file name?"

Whenever you type something from DOS and then press ENTER, DOS
considers what you typed to be a command and attempts to obey it. 
Obviously DOS did not recognize your name as any command or file name
it was familiar with, hence the "Bad command or file name" message. 
You will probably encounter many such messages as you begin your work
with Vocal-Eyes.  Don't worry when you encounter one.  Consider it
DOS's way of saying "Excuse me?  Could you give me that again?"

Try this.  Type DIR and then press ENTER.  Use lower or upper case
letters since it makes no difference to DOS.  DIR is the DOS "list
directory" command.  When you typed it you asked DOS to tell you the
name of every file on the drive or subdirectory you are currently logged
onto.  DOS sent the information to your PC's screen where it was
displayed.  Vocal-Eyes read the display for you, and sent the information
to your speech synthesizer for voicing.

Two things are happening here.  First, Vocal-Eyes is watching your PC
keyboard.  Every time you type in a letter Vocal-Eyes sends that letter to
your synthesizer for voicing.  Meanwhile, Vocal-Eyes is simultaneously
keeping a watchful eye on your PC's display screen.  Whenever DOS
sends, or "writes" information to the display screen through BIOS, Vocal-
Eyes reads the information and passes it along to your synthesizer for
voicing.

In DOS, when you type in characters from the keyboard, Vocal-Eyes sees
each of them twice:  once as you type it and again as it appears on your
PC's display screen.  Vocal-Eyes knows not to read your characters
twice.

3.3:  HOW IT WORKS

Once Vocal-Eyes has been loaded into your PC's memory and started via
the VE command, everything you type at the keyboard will be passed
through the Vocal-Eyes program.  Similarly, characters that are sent to the
screen by DOS, and programs that use DOS for screen service, will also
be passed through Vocal-Eyes.  Vocal-Eyes "sees" these keystrokes
before anyone else does.  This "first-at-the-gate" positioning of Vocal-
Eyes allows the program to waylay characters as they pass through your
PC's memory just long enough to share them with your attached voice
synthesizer before sending them along their way, unchanged and no
worse for the wear.

Vocal-Eyes is a utility program.  It is not an applications program, such as
a word processor, a database manager, a spreadsheet, etc.  You can use
Vocal-Eyes with these applications to add a wide variety of useful voice
features.  First, start Vocal-Eyes, then run your favorite piece of
applications software.  Vocal-Eyes tucks itself away in a corner of your
PC's memory.  DOS, and your applications program, don't even know
Vocal-Eyes is there.

Provided that your applications software uses the DOS screen service
facilities for its displays, your program's data and prompts will be spoken
exactly as they appear on your PC's screen.  Also, the characters that
you type at the keyboard will be spoken.  It's hard to know, without
actually trying a given applications program, whether or not it uses DOS. 
Many programs do, but many do not.  Some programs offer a Direct or
BIOS method of writing characters to the screen.  Refer to the application
program manual to find out whether it offers such a feature.  Try the BIOS
setting first.  If it speaks too much, try the Direct method.  You may have
to experiment at first to get the best speech possible.  Those programs
that only allow Direct access to the screen can still be "made" to speak
quite nicely if you use Vocal-Eyes' array of voice hot keys and its built-in
screen windows.

Vocal-Eyes will only work properly if the applications program you are
using is in a text mode.  If the program enters a graphics mode, Vocal-
Eyes will continue to execute but the information read may not make any
sense.  Therefore, if it seems Vocal-Eyes is giving meaningless
information, it may be because the applications program is displaying
graphics.  Once you exit the graphics mode, Vocal-Eyes will return as
normal.

3.4:  INTRODUCING A FEW BASIC VOCAL-EYES HOT KEYS

Do you have a favorite piece of applications software?  A word processor,
perhaps?  Go ahead and load it now.  How did it behave with Vocal-Eyes? 
Did it talk?  Did it chatter on endlessly?  Did it say a few words and then
go silent on you?  

Would you like to see what's on your PC's screen right now?  If so, press
and hold down your PC's ALT key--if your keyboard has two of them, feel
free to press either--and then press any of the keyboard number keys from
zero through nine.  Release both keys together (if you are using an
application which has a predefined Vocal-Eyes configuration such as
WordPerfect, you may have to try several numbers before you find one
which reads the full screen.  Later we'll explain how those keys were
redefined).

Vocal-Eyes is now reading your PC's display screen line by line from top
to bottom.  Would you like to hear it again?  Press a key from ALT-0
through Alt-9 again.

"Okay," you're probably saying to yourself at this point,  "I think I've
heard enough of this screen."  If this is the case, press any key.  Press
the CTRL or SHIFT key by itself, if you like.  How about that?  Instant
silence.  You can press any key to silence Vocal-Eyes, including the CTRL
or SHIFT key by itself.

(NOTE:  Pressing the ALT key by itself will also silence Vocal-Eyes'
speech.  Avoid pressing this key for now, however, as pressing this key
will take you into Review Mode.  You'll learn about Review Mode later in
this section.  For now, if you do happen to press the ALT key by itself
and you hear your PC say "Review," simply press and release the ALT
key a second time.  Your PC will respond by saying "Exit."  Go ahead
with your work as normal.)

The keys from ALT-0 through ALT-9 are what are known as Vocal-Eyes
hot keys.  They're called hot keys because they, like the other hot keys
we're about to discuss, are ready, willing and able to come to your
service instantly.  These particular hot keys read the first 10 windows of
Vocal-Eyes.  A window is any portion of your PC's screen.  A window
can be as small as a single character, or as large as the entire screen.  In
a later section of this manual we'll show you how you can define
windows to read different portions of your PC display.  You may, for
example, choose to set one window to read your application program's
status line, and another to read a menu and a third to read everything on
the screen but the top and bottom lines.  For now, however, we have
preset these 10 windows to read the entire PC display screen.

Try this.  Press CTRL-L.  Did Vocal-Eyes voice anything?  CTRL-L is the
Vocal-Eyes "read line" hot key, the "L" standing for line.  Pressing CTRL-L
causes Vocal-Eyes to read whatever is on the current screen line: i.e., the
screen line upon which your cursor currently resides.  If you pressed
CTRL-L and it said "blank," it's probably because there is nothing on this
line.  Try typing a few letters and then pressing CTRL-L again.

Here are some more speech hot keys that have been preset for you.

     CTRL-B - Read previous character.
     CTRL-C - Read current character.
     CTRL-D - Read next character

     CTRL-V - Read previous word.
     CTRL-W - Read current word.
     CTRL-Y - Read next word.

     CTRL-R - Read previous sentence
     CTRL-S - Read current sentence.
     CTRL-T - Read next sentence.

     CTRL-O - Read previous paragraph.
     CTRL-P - Read current paragraph.
     CTRL-Q - Read next paragraph.

     CTRL-K - Read previous line.
     CTRL-L - Read current line
     CTRL-M - Read next line.

Notice the easy-to-remember mnemonics for all the "Read Current" hot
keys:  C for character, W for word, L for line, S for sentence and P for
paragraph.  Notice, also, how we've preset the "Read Previous" and
"Read Next" hot keys to move up and down one letter of the alphabet
respectively.  There is one exception to this organizational structure. 
CTRL-X is probably familiar to many of you who have had experience with
speech synthesizers and screen readers as the standard Momentary
Silence key.  You don't need this key with Vocal-Eyes, since with
Interruptability turned on any key becomes a Momentary Silence hot key. 
Nonetheless we have retained this hot key assignment for now and
shifted the "read next word" hot key down one letter to CTRL-Y.

Try each of these Vocal-Eyes hot keys in turn.  They will work perfectly
if, a) there is indeed a character, word, sentence or paragraph at the
current cursor location and b) in the case of the CTRL-S and CTRL-P keys,
the text is displayed in a form Vocal-Eyes can recognize as a sentence
and/or paragraph.  We'll talk more about this later.  For now, give each of
these hot keys a try and see what happens.

Also, try this.  Press the previous, current or next character read hot key. 
Now, press it a second time.  Did you hear your letter sounded out
phonetically?  Press one of the three read word hot keys.  Press it a
second time, now a third.  The second time you press any of the three
read word hot keys your word is spelled out letter by letter.  The third
press calls up a phonetic reading.  Placing your cursor on the word cat,
for example, will cause Vocal-Eyes to voice "CAT" at the first pressing of
any of the three read word hot keys, "c-a-t" at the second and "Charlie-
alpha-tango" at the third.

Whenever you press any of Vocal-Eyes' voice hot keys, the key you have
pressed travels no farther than Vocal-Eyes itself.  Pressing CTRL-L, for
example, will read the current screen line, but it will not pass the CTRL-L
keystroke along to DOS or to your underlying applications software.  Your
program doesn't even realize a key was pressed.

But what if you really do want CTRL-L, or any of the other Vocal-Eyes hot
keys, to be passed along to your applications software?  What if, say,
CTRL-L controls a very important function in your program?  This is where
the CTRL-N Bypass hot key comes into play.  Press CTRL-N at any time. 
The next key you type (remember "N" for next) will be passed along to
your underlying program with no interference whatsoever from Vocal-
Eyes.  Thus, typing CTRL-N CTRL-L will send a CTRL-L to your underlying
software.  Typing CTRL-N CTRL-C will send a CTRL-C.  Typing CTRL-N
ALT-1 will send an ALT-1 keystroke. 

In a later section of this manual we'll show you how you can change the
key assignments of these and all other Vocal-Eyes hot keys to suit your
own individual needs and preferences.  We think you'll be pleasantly
surprised by just how versatile and accommodating Vocal-Eyes can be.

3.5:  THE CURSOR KEYS

There are a number of keys on your PC's keyboard that you will always
want passed along to DOS or your underlying applications software. 
They include such keys as the four ARROW keys, LEFT, RIGHT, UP and
DOWN, the TAB key, the BACKSPACE and DELETE keys, PGUP, PGDN,
HOME and END.  As a group, these keys are usually classified as "cursor"
keys.  They are called this because, in most applications software,
pressing any of these keys will affect the placement of your cursor in
some way.  Naturally, you'd like to hear what has happened to your
cursor, but you also want the keystroke to be passed along to the
underlying software so that the cursor will be properly moved.  This is the
main difference, as far as Vocal-Eyes is concerned, between hot keys and
cursoring keys.

We'll demonstrate this with the four cursor keys:  LEFT ARROW, RIGHT
ARROW, UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW.

Are you currently in your favorite word processor or note taker such as
Noteworthy?  If so, then type a word or two.  Now, press the LEFT
ARROW key a time or two.  What happened?  Did you hear your
characters being read back to you as you cursored backwards over them? 
What character is your cursor currently on?  Press CTRL-C to find out.  Is
it the same character you just heard voiced as you cursored back?  Move
a few characters to the right via the RIGHT ARROW key.  Where are you
now?  Press CTRL-C to confirm.

As you can see, with Vocal-Eyes your cursor keys are pulling double duty. 
First, they send the original keystroke to DOS or your applications
program.  Second, they cause your synthesizer to voice the new current
character.

Try pressing the DOWN ARROW and/or the UP ARROW key.  What
happened?  That's right.  Your applications cursor was moved down, or
up, one line and then that line was voiced.  This is assuming, of course,
your applications program uses the DOWN and/or UP ARROW keys to
move your cursor in these directions.  In DOS, for example, neither of
these keystrokes has any meaning.  Consequently, pressing either the
DOWN or UP ARROW key in DOS will not move your cursor at all.  It will,
however, re-voice the current screen line.

Many applications programs, such as word processors, use the CTRL-
LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to move you through your text one entire
word at a time.  With that in mind, what would you expect Vocal-Eyes to
do when you press the CTRL-LEFT or CTRL-RIGHT ARROW keys?  Type a
few words and give these keys a try.  Use the CTRL-W read word hot key
to verify which word your cursor is currently on.  Is it the same word that
was voiced when you pressed CTRL-LEFT or RIGHT ARROW?

Of course not all applications programs use the cursor keys as described
above.  Vocal-Eyes, as you shall soon see, will allow you to reassign the
voice response of these and all other cursor keys so that what you hear
when you press a cursor key closely matches what happens in your
applications software.  

3.6:  VOCAL-EYES' SPECIAL REVIEW MODE

So far we've shown you how to read your PC's screen display by using
one of several read hot keys, such as the CTRL-L read line key, or the
CTRL-P read paragraph key.  We'll be introducing you to many more hot
keys in later sections of this manual.  Right now, however, we'd like to
show you a very useful feature of Vocal-Eyes known as Review Mode.

With Review Mode you can move anywhere from top to bottom on your
PC's screen and read the information displayed there using any of the hot
keys you've learned about so far.  What's more, you can do this without
affecting DOS or the applications program you're currently running. 
Here's how it works.

Do this.  Press the ALT key and then release it without holding down any
other key.   Did you hear your PC say "Review?"  There, you have just
put DOS or your applications program into a computerized version of
suspended animation.  It's still there, but it's sleeping.  Now, press the
ALT key again and release it without pressing any other key.  Did your PC
say "Exit?"  Well, you've just awakened DOS or your applications
program.  It's ready to proceed with your next command.  None of the
keystrokes you pressed while you were in Review Mode were passed on
to your applications program.  It doesn't even know it was ever asleep.

Use the ALT key to enter Review Mode again.  Press the CTRL-L read line
hot key.  Now, press the UP ARROW key several times in succession. 
Did you hear the ascending tonal sequence that lets you know you're
moving upward on your PC's screen?  Use the CTRL-L read line hot key to
read the line you're on now.  Don't worry, your applications cursor hasn't
moved at all.  When you entered Review Mode a second "review," cursor
was created for you.  This is the cursor that moved when you pressed the
UP ARROW key.  Visually, the review cursor is very large and is inversed
to stand out even more.  If you are sighted or have limited sight, you will
appreciate this easy to locate cursor.

Would you like to know exactly where on your PC's screen your review
cursor is located?  Simply press the SPACE BAR while in Review Mode. 
Notice this key provides your screen location in the form "Cn Ln," with
"n" being the number of the screen column and line.  For example, C5
L10 would mean your review cursor is on column position 5, line 10.  If you want to know where your applications cursor is located, press the
CTRL-A read address hot key.  This key will always give you the actual
location of your applications cursor whether you are in review mode or
not.  

Now, press the ENTER key a few times.  Notice the descending tonal
sequence that lets you know that now you're moving down your PC's
display screen.  Notice also how each line is read as your review cursor
passes over it.  Of course you could just as easily have used your DOWN
ARROW key to move down your screen.  Did you notice what happened if
you press ENTER while Vocal-Eyes was speaking the previous line?  It
interrupted the speech and immediately started reading the new line.  This
is called interruptability.  Vocal-Eyes defaults with this feature enabled. 
We will talk more about this feature in a later section.

Is there text at your current cursor location?  Assuming you are still in
review mode, use your read character or read word hot key to find out. 
Try using your LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to move about on the
current screen line character by character.  Use your CTRL-LEFT and
CTRL-RIGHT ARROW keys to move back and forth a word at a time. 
Notice that if you come to the end, or the beginning, of a screen line and
attempt to move further Vocal-Eyes will automatically roll, or "wrap" you
around to the next or previous screen line, depending, of course, on
which cursor key you were using to navigate the screen.

Not only can you use the four arrow keys to move about the screen, but
as you touch typists are sure to appreciate there is an alternative. 
Anytime you are in Vocal-Eyes' Review Mode, you can use the H, U, K
and J keys to move your cursor one position left, right, up or down
respectively.  If you don't want to move your hands off of home row to
the arrows, you can use these alternatives.  There are many more
commands you can use to move the cursor which will be described later.

Try your previous and next sentence and paragraph hot keys.  They work
exactly the same as they did before you entered Review Mode--with one
exception.  Before, whenever you pressed one of these keys, the
appropriate unit of text was voiced, but the placement of your cursor was
not affected in any way.  In Review Mode, on the contrary, whenever you
ask Vocal-Eyes to read a previous character, word, sentence or paragraph
your review cursor is automatically moved for you to the beginning of the
text unit being read.  Pressing the read previous sentence command in
Review Mode, for instance, will instruct Vocal-Eyes not only to read the
previous sentence but also to move your review cursor to the first
character of the previous sentence.  Try using any of the read previous or
next hot keys and then pressing the SPACE BAR to read the position of
your review cursor to see for yourself.  Notice that the previous and next
line hot keys will move you to the appropriate line but the cursor position
will remain at the same column position.

Try the ALT-0 through ALT-9 read screen window hot keys.  They, too,
work the same as before.  And of course as always, you can silence the
speech if you wish.  Since interruptability is enabled, any key you press
will first interrupt the speech and then issue the key.  Well, how about
simply tapping the Control key or the Shift key.  These keys by
themselves do nothing but they are sure handy to silence the speech.  If
you use the ALT key, it will take you in and out of review mode.  There is
nothing wrong with this, however, it is not as convenient as the
CONTROL and SHIFT keys.  If you don't like using the ALT key for review
mode, you will learn how to change this to your liking.  If interruptability
is off, you can use your CTRL-X momentary silence hot key at any time to
quiet voice output as well.  The momentary silence hot key is completely
ignored by Vocal-Eyes if Interruptability is on.

Would you like to see what's on the third line of your screen display? 
Simple enough.  All you need do is type the number 3 and then follow by
pressing your CTRL-L read line hotkey.  Screen line 3 will be read and
your review cursor will be moved to the beginning of the third screen line. 
How do you suppose you would instruct Vocal-Eyes to read the fifth word
on that line?  That's right:  type 5CTRL-W.  Likewise 14CTRL-C will read
the fourteenth character on the current screen line.

Try reading the eighth sentence on your screen, or the second paragraph.

Whenever you use a "read current" hot key in Review Mode, Vocal-Eyes
counts over from the first screen column in the case of the read current
character and word hot keys and down from the top screen line in the
case of the read line, sentence and paragraph hot keys.

Now lets say you'd like to know what the character five spaces to the left
of your current review cursor is.  In this case you would type 5 and then
press the read previous character hot key.  Similarly, to read the word
three words to the right of your cursor you would type 3 and then press
the read next word hot key.

Can you guess how you would read the line 4 lines above your present
cursor location?  Exactly.  All you have to do is type 4 and then press
your read previous line hot key.  It works exactly the same with the read
previous and next sentence and paragraph hot keys.  Just type in the
number of text units you want to move and then point Vocal-Eyes in the
right direction.

You can also type a number before any of the four arrow keys.  The up
arrow is treated like the previous line, down arrow works like the next line
hot key, left arrow works like previous character and the right arrow
works like next character.

In the case of the previous and next line keys, the cursor position remains
at the same column position it was prior to the command being issued. 
Feel free to play with these cursor movement keys by themselves as well
as adding numbers before the commands.  The largest number allowed is
255.  If you try and enter a number larger then this, you will get the error
message "Number too large."  Don't worry, simply try it again with the
correct number this time.  Also, if you try and move the cursor off the
physical screen by issuing the command 255CTRL-L, Vocal-Eyes will beep
and not move the cursor.  This command asked Vocal-Eyes to move the
review cursor to line 255.  Needless to say, this line does not exist.

Are you done examining your PC's screen display?  Remember, to exit
Review Mode and wake up your applications program all you have to do is
press and release the ALT key by itself a second time.  Or, alternatively,
you could press the ESCAPE key.  Lots of applications software, including
Vocal-Eyes, utilize this key to allow you to "Escape" a program's
functions.

3.7:  A FEW MORE REVIEW MODE COMMAND KEYS

As we've already mentioned, in later sections of this users' guide we'll be
showing you how to reassign all of the hot keys we've shown so far and
many others so that they are activated by the keystroke of your choice. 
We'll also be showing you how to modify the voice response of many of
your cursor keys, such as your ARROW keys, HOME, END, PgUp, PgDn,
etc., so that when pressed they will voice not just characters or lines, but
other, more useful information such as screen address, field names and
the like.  You may even choose to leave certain voice features
unassigned.  Your applications program may have no use whatsoever for
a read next paragraph hot key, for example, so you might want to leave
this hot key unassigned in order to avoid unnecessary keyboard clutter.

But say you've unassigned a hot key such as read current sentence.  You
don't need it for your application--but what about Review Mode?  You'd
probably still like to have the ability to read the current sentence, in case
there's something on your screen you need to refer back to via Review
Mode.

To help you out, Vocal-Eyes comes equipped with a number of command
keys.  Some duplicate features we've already described, such as read
sentence, and read next paragraph.  Others have been designed to make
your work in Review Mode all that much quicker and easier to
accomplish.  We'll describe a few of these keys now.

Are you currently in Review Mode?  If not, press the ALT key and go
there now.

Press the HOME key located on the key pad #7.  (Note:  some enhanced
keyboards may have two HOME keys.  If your keyboard has two, feel free
to press either.

What happened when you pressed the HOME key?  If your review cursor
is currently somewhere inside a unit of text which Vocal-Eyes can
interpret as a sentence, the sentence was read out to you.  Press HOME
again.  Notice that with each press of the HOME key Vocal-Eyes moves
back one sentence and reads it to you the same as if you'd used your
read previous sentence hot key.  Just like the previous sentence hot key,
if you hear a beep, Vocal-Eyes is telling you there is no sentence under
the cursor.  This could be because you are at the top of the screen or on
a blank line.

Press the END key, located a key or two under the HOME key on most PC
keyboards.  What happened?  That's right--pressing the END key is like
pressing your read next sentence hot key.

Similarly, pressing CTRL-HOME or CTRL-END will cause Vocal-Eyes to act
exactly as if you'd pressed your read previous or read next paragraph hot
keys.

If you press 'L' in review, Vocal-Eyes will read the current line under the
review cursor position.  Of course you can still use the read line hotkey
but this can be done very easily with a single keypress.  This command
like the others can have a number preceded by it to read the specified
line.  For example, "12L" will move the review cursor to the first column
of line 12 and read the line.

As you begin to adapt Vocal-Eyes to run with various applications
programs, you may find it easier to work without one or more of your
"read" character, word, line, sentence or paragraph hot keys.  Vocal-Eyes'
Review Mode command keys will always be there for you, though, and
between the ARROW keys, the HOME and END keys you will always be
able to access these valuable voice functions anytime you enter Review
Mode.

Here are a few more handy Vocal-Eyes command keys.

Would you like the ability to jump to the first column of your current
screen line with a single keystroke?  Simply press the PgUp key and
presto!  You're there before you can take your finger off the key.  Not
only that, but it also voices the new current character.

Conversely, to move instantly to just past the last printed character on
your current screen line, press PgDn.

Now, what do you think of being able to move all the way to the upper
left hand corner of your current window with but a single keystroke? 
Remember, for now we've preset all of Vocal-Eyes' windows to contain
the entire 80-column, 25-line screen display.  If the idea strikes your
fancy, simply press CTRL-PgUp.  Vocal-Eyes moves you almost instantly
to the upper left hand corner of your screen and reads your new current
character.  Press the SPACE BAR to verify your review cursor is really at
the top left.

How do you suppose you could "express" move your read cursor to the
first character on the last line of your current screen?  That's right. 
Simply press CTRL-PgDn.

(NOTE:  Owners of PC's that come equipped with an enhanced 101-key
keyboard, may substitute ALT-LEFT ARROW or ALT-RIGHT ARROW for
PgUp and PgDn respectively.  CTRL-UP ARROW and CTRL-DOWN
ARROW may likewise be used in place of CTRL-PgUp and CTRL-PgDn. 
The only way to know for sure if your keyboard will support these
alternatives is to try them.  Even if they don't work, you can still use the
other keystrokes to accomplish the same task.)

There is even another way to move the cursor to the top, left, right and
bottom of the screen.  The previous keys work great; however, if you do
not like to move your hands off the home row keys to move the cursor,
you will enjoy the following keys.  To move to the top left of the screen,
press the plus sign (+).  Pressing the left bracket ([) will move you to the
left of the line and right bracket (]) will move you to the right of the line. 
Finally a press of the apostrophe (') will move you to the first column of
the last line.  These four keys are in a diamond shape with the plus at the
top, left bracket and right bracket at the left and right sides, and the
apostrophe at the bottom.  This should make the keys easy to remember.

If you have an enhanced keyboard, you now have three ways of moving
the cursor to the four positions.  Even if you don't have the enhanced
keyboard, you still have two alternatives.  Use whichever keystrokes are
most convenient for you. 

Go ahead and practice for a while with these Review Mode command
keys.

3.8:  THE F1 HELP SCREEN

If you forget one of the Review Mode commands, help is as close as your
F1 key.  Are you currently in Review Mode?  If you are, try pressing your
F1 help key now.

Pressing F1 from inside Vocal-Eyes' Review Mode will cause several
screens of help to be spoken and displayed on the screen.  The first
screen of help information is called Standard Window Commands.  To
display the next screen of information, press the Page Down key.  If you
wish to quit the help, press the ESCAPE key.  Each press of the Page
Down key will cause the next help screen to be displayed.  Each screen
has a title at the top letting you know what the current screen will talk
about.

There are several topics available to you.  Every single Review Mode
command is covered in one of these help screens.  You can also go back
to the previous screen if you wish.  By pressing Page Up, you will go to
the previous screen.  If you are at the first screen, Standard Window
Commands, you will wrap back to the last screen, Exiting Commands. 
The same is true if you press Page Down while on the last screen.  Only
this time, you will wrap to the first screen.  If you wish to hear the
current screen spoken again, press any key other then Page Down, Page
Up or ESCAPE.  The space bar is a good choice.  Vocal-Eyes will beep
and read the screen again.

If you have interruptability on, you can very quickly scan to the window
that concerns what you are looking for.  Lets say for example, you want
to do a find but forgot how to do it.  When you press F1, the first screen
will start to speak.  Remember that at the top of each screen is a title
indicating what the screen will discuss.  You can interrupt the speech
with a press of the Page Down key until you hear the screen titled Find
Commands.  With a little practice, you can get to the help screen you
want quickly.

Remember when you started up Vocal-Eyes we said you should be in the
directory which contained Vocal-Eyes first.  The reason is because Vocal-
Eyes remembers this location.  When you press F1 in review mode, Vocal-
Eyes goes to the drive and directory you were in when you started up
Vocal-Eyes.  It looks for the file VE.HLP.  If for some reason it can not
find this file, you will get an error message.  You may want to make sure
the file is located there and you started up Vocal-Eyes in the correct
directory.

If you get an error telling you DOS is busy, Vocal-Eyes is saying it can not
interrupt DOS to get the help information.  Normally this will not be a
problem but if it does happen, simply exit review mode and re-enter.  Now
try the help again.  Always use the fast review key instead of the review
hot key.  The review hotkey will be described later in this manual.

We've only covered a small portion of Vocal-Eyes' many useful Review
Mode commands thus far.  Consequently, many of the items on the F1
help screen will be unfamiliar to you.  Don't worry about the commands
you don't understand yet.  We'll be getting to all of them in turn.

3.9:  VOCAL-EYES' "TYPEWRITER" BELL

Remember typewriters?  Remember how slow they were, and how
difficult it was to correct a mistake?  If you didn't think typewriters were
pretty much obsolete before, now that you've got Vocal-Eyes you're
almost sure to think so.

Typewriters did have one feature that was of use to the sight- impaired
user, however-- that little bell that tinged to let you know you were nearly
to the end of your line.

Well, we've included a typewriter-style bell to let you know you're nearly
to the end of your current line.  You can adjust the number of the column
you must reach before it dings to let you know you're near the end of
your line.

If you've been working along with us, you've probably already
encountered the bell.  It dings whenever you reach column 70.  Later
we'll show you how you can change this column number, as well as the
length, or duration, of the bell itself.

Most popular word processing packages, WordPerfect included, perform a
function known as word wrap.  When you type a word that would
normally go past your right margin, the program carries, or "wraps" the
entire word down onto the next text line.  Unfortunately, there are also
some programs, such as network electronic mail editors and computer
bulletin board message editors, that do not perform this useful feature. 
Typing past the right margin in programs such as these may cause text
that goes beyond the right margin to be lost.  Vocal-Eyes' bell is very
handy when typing text into such programs.  You always know when
you're about to go beyond your margin, and you can act accordingly.
