I think you ment ubuntu 7.4 with orca.

look, xmms is not accessible with orca and I only recommend it to
those who have used winamp before on windows.
you need to select your song and then click the right mouse button or
shift f10 and select play with xmms.  all other commands while plaing
a song or list of songs is similar to winamp.
as for orca stopping when music is on, it is the problem with that
sound card which does not support multi chanel audio.
the fix was suggested by some one and that person will suggest it again for you.
or I request who ever it was kindly at least point balaram (and me
too) to that old email on this list.

if you can probably send that file to me, I can make out what was the porblem.
I can easiy read big documents not just big I can even read huge documents.
just make sure that scrolling takes place properly.
if that document is not very official then kindly do send it to me and
I will see what was the matter.

follow your basic windows and ms word instincts and in most if not all
cases you will be right and the exact things will happen.
for example to edit a cell in a spreadsheet, you would press f2 in
excel.  try doing the same thing in open office spreadhsheet.
just one tip should be enough to give you an idea.  but if you need
any further info do contact me.
