<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Also, if you are in review and want to read the screen, or a
portion thereof, press a letter from A to X, then press the comma, “Echo says
“to:”, then type the line letter you want to read to.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>So, if you wanted the whole screen, type the letter A, press
