[Nfbkabs] Meeting: A. Computer Chats

[Faith Manion]

There was a few things I forgot to add when discussing messenger and JAWS.  
Within the JAWS help menu, under popular application it has msn messenger 
listed.  This is where you can determine what version of messenger works 
best.  As for me, I am using JAWS 6.0 and messenger 5.0.  The keyboard 
commands for this version is really easy.  In fact, if you were always 
within the conversation window you might not even need the commands.  (jaws 
reads just enough, but not to much.)

As for other programs I have no idea, but I'm sure we could find out if 
someone needs to know.  Messenger is the only messaging program I use, so I 
can't speak on behalf of the others.
Hope this helps.

Also if we decide to try out messenger I would be willing to send the list 
keyboard commands and the site where messenger can be downloaded.  (In case 
someone didn't know it is free.)
