Re: [orca-list] Some Debian questions?

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

When I used mate last time I needed to bring up a wi-fi network since I
have no ethernet drop here.  In that process in order to choose a
network from available wi-fi choices a series of panels are presented.
In order to access those panels I hit enter on the one I wanted then got
a pass phrase challenge and entered that pass phrase and I was off to
the races.  If accessibility was or is missing for other panels in mate
I'd like to know about it.
