Re: How to demonstrate how well disabled people understand

the trace system is documented.  this is why I sent you there.

The way you posed the question was unclear to me so belief does not make
it so.  The point here is that I obviously did not take your meaning and
you fixed that.  The other point though is that as has been suggested by
others on this list, you need to get out of the way of your knowledge
and just lend a hand.  If someone tells you that something is unclear,
clear it up.

Hi, David

I believe the question was clear.  Functionality refers to what
functions are provided to the user.

Going back to the Trace system.  How does a user enter text via buttons?
How does a user edit the text being entered?
