Hi Teresa, Thanks for this. So now, the trick will be to get my head around the way the zoom function works. Is a window just either zoomed or not zoomed? In other words, can zoom be clicked more than once to obtain different levels? Also, there is apparently a plus button in the upper left of the window, which I thought was supposed to maximize or zoom it; However, when my sighted friend clicked that button, she said that the window actually shrunk. Ah, the joys of trying to comprehend visual concepts from a totally nonvisual perspective.

Command-m is "minimize". There are various commands for zooming a window. Go to the Window menu and find the command there. In some cases, you can press command-option-z, but not all. The zoom option doesn't work quite the same as maximizing in Windows OS. It takes up more of the screen, but you don't always get the full-screen effect. Also, the text may not get any larger.

We have an imac 24 here at work, and we were showing a webpage..
