Thanks Tim. Next time I fire up the Mac I will see if I can understand the grid element. I may also run into Mac users during the enxt 2 weeks and if I do, I will sit with them and learn some things..

Hi,

A Scroll area is an area within a web-page or other screen that is scrollable.  
Sort of like a smaller window within another that you are able to manipulate or 
ignore as you wish.  A Table is just that, like a spreadsheet of rows and 
columns within a larger element.  A Group is a collection of related elements.  
A Grid is similar to a Table but I don't know the specific explanation of the 
difference.

HTH.

John,
   Having used Windows for many years, some of the terms used on OS X do not 
quite click. Could you briefly explain the following? Just to get a better 
picture of the elements. Thanks.

   Scroll areas, Tables, Groups, and Grids.

    Yes, this is a great explanation.  It also allows you to see specific parts 
of an interface or screen.  So, instead of being overwhelmed by everything all 
at once, the screen is segregated so that you can interact to view specific 
areas and, thus, limit confusion.
Scroll areas, Tables, browsers, Groups, Sliders, Toolbars and Grids are the 
elements that require interaction.


Take Care

Can't explain but I interact with toolbars, tables and lists as well as HTML 
content controls.

Dear List I wondered if some kind soul could explain the concept of interaction 
on the mac.  On podcasts you get taught how to use it but not what the 
underlying premise is behind it.  What are the benefits of setting up a screen 
reader this way.  I find interaction an irritation.  On windows in outlook I'm 
immediately in the messages list I don't have to interact with the list first.  
To me it just feels like interaction is always another keystroke between me and 
where I want to get to.

Many Thanks Lee
