Hi Athenites,

While what Nick says is indeed true about the other language versions
not
being able to control the computer's operating system, the commands to
run
Dragon are in the target language and they work really well. DNS
provides
a good resource of the commands to use to run the program. I'm still
able
to use my hands to manage to turn on my computer & log in, start
programs
etc.. I use DNS primeraly to write letters, papers, or make PPT
presentations,
instructional materials, tests, handouts etc. for the classes I teach
(when
I'm not being campus techno-geek, playing my t'bone or being manager of
my
great department). When I had all my MACs, they were other-language
operating
systems and the commands were in the target language. In Chinese, I had
to
learn what the command characters looked liked because I cannot read
Chinese!

Hope this is helpful to you all.

Have a good weekend!

Wink
