As the 'locator device' why not voice recognizer? While I am in my screen editor, I could say 'INSERT' or 'UPSCREEN' rather than the key strokes. I could say 'SEARCH' then it would prompt me for a search string. In addition a key should be provided to toggle this feature on and off. Imagine a demonstration saying Search or Reverse Screen and your presentation is forever doomed. Comments and ideas are being explored by a research group here at Penn in this area. We'd like to know what the Works community feels. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
