Re: [orca-list] gnome terminal questions

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Bart:

http://live.gnome.org/Orca/GnomeTerminal has information on cut/paste. 
Feel free to also add your own tips and tricks to the WIKI as you learn. 
 :-)

For minicom, I'm not sure.  It might be that it is not positioning the 
cursor correctly or in such a way that the AT-SPI is able to generate 
the appropriate caret movement events.  I have a download/upgrade going 
now and will try to remember to test for this tomorrow.

Hope this helps!

Will
