I have a relative that has suffered a stroke, and is paralyzed on the left side. This means that she only has her right hand and arm to work with. What I would like to know, is if there are any accessories available for macs that will do either handwriting recognition, or make a keyboard more useful for a one handed person. Thanks Keith uunet!rob!elliston -or- elliston@rob.uucp

The standard system software comes with an INIT called Easy Access. One of its features is to make the shift, option, command, etc. keys sticky. With that INIT installed, if you hit the SHIFT key 5 times in a row, you activate the sticky keys. Then pressing a releasing the shift key will make the shift key lock until you hit a regular key. For example hitting and releasing the shift key and the a key will result in a capital A. If you hit shift twice in a row, then it permanently locks (so you can type several capital letters), until you hit it again. This won't make it any easier to type, but it does mean you don't need to use 2 hands or stretch to hit the modifier keys. -- Larry Rosenstein, Object Specialist Apple Computer, Inc. 20525 Mariani Ave, MS 46-B Cupertino, CA 95014 AppleLink:Rosenstein1 domain:lsr@Apple.COM UUCP:{sun,voder,nsc,decwrl}!apple!lsr
