There is information <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/linux/keyboard/keyboard_easy/screenkeys/sub_3.shtml">here</a> that explains how to use the on screen keyboard that is part of the Gnome GUI. Good Luck! -Flame ----------------------------- In 8.04 you can activate the Simple On Screen Keyboard by executing the following command at a terminal session: <pre><b>onboard</b></pre> If you want it to start automatically when you log on, you need to activate Assistive Technologies, this way: Go to "System"->"Preferences"->"Assistive Technologies".
