Concerning the links grabbing focus.  Sounds like an interesting side
effect or something.  I don't really mind the current behavior other
than it isn't always consistent across all links and sometimes
depending on the content of a link one might wanna arrow through it a
letter at a time to clarify what was just heard.  You know, like some
of those words not spoken clearly by your synthesizer.

As an aside tothis, I think it would be a good thing if Orca could
speak the word 'link' when you land on a link when arrowing char by
char.  I think it does this when moving word by word if I'm not
mistakened.  Then have it say something like 'end link' when you leave
the link.  However, you wouldn't wanna hear that extra verbage when
reading line by line though.  Actually though, I'm getting pretty used
to things at present and if I'm unsure if I'm on a link or not, I just
hit the numpad-enter key and it tells me whether I'm on the link or
not.  I mention these points tohelp us have a better handle on
situations when hitting the enter key on a supposed link only to find
out we weren't on the link at all.

I think a lot of this is just getting used to the way Orca does things
and all and all, not bad.

Does the larg object navigation feature jump you from frame to frame
too?  I'll have to try that with text attribute changes though I
didn't think it worked too well on my situation I described earlier.

Thanks for suggesting the RFE's though might have to put up one of
them shortly.
