I am using the IBM Screen REader for OS/2 that allows me, a blind person, to "drive" WebExplorer. Just thought you might be interested in the fact that this is even possible. The major development that made this all possible was an off screen model (database) which maintains an API-oriented view of everything that goes on. I can run PM applications OS/2-character-based programs as well as Windows applications. The one restriction with the Windows environment is that I must run those applications from the desktop so that they "have" to "look" at OS/2 in the process.
