Re: [orca-list] Using Emacs under Orca

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

I'm not sure about XEmacs, but I do this with Emacs. I just start Emacs 
on the desktop, and I have it configured to use Emacspeak. When I 
alt-tab to my Emacs window, I don't hear Orca but just Emacspeak. When I 
alt-tab into another application, I still have Orca. I don't have to 
toggle anything in Orca or Emacspeak.
