Re: lynx-dev Suggestion for Lynx for Windows

[Lloyd G. Rasmussen]

I am not yet using Win 95, but use Lynx for DOS with Vocal-Eyes.  

Lynx/32 grabs keystrokes before your screen reader can see them.  It 
is not the only console-mode Win95 program that does this.  You may 
get some relief by using ASAP's option for grabbing keystrokes more 
aggressively.  But I have heard from Janina Sajka at the American 
Foundation for the Blind <address@hidden> that she solves this problem 
by putting ASAP into its screen review mode before examining the 
screen with ASAP's keys.  This is not very satisfactory, but it 
works.   

Other blind people are using Lynx/32 with screen readers, and I don't 
know all their strategies.  I hope this helps.
