Hi listers,

?

Thank you all for your kind assistance. I am so sorry. Yes, I am using a laptop. The function key toggling is the problem.

If a laptop is in use, and it has a "media keys" function for the function keys enabled by default, that could definitely be the issue.

I make the presumption, and I know I should not, that anyone setting up a laptop for a screen reader user will turn off that function as a matter of course.? But, that requires that you have some idea of how screen reader users actually interact with the keyboard, and many don't because there are not tons of opportunities for your "general purpose IT person" to do this.? I certainly wouldn't have thought of it until I got into "the assistive technology biz."
