Thanks Arky!  I notice you included a section on the default flat review commands for Orca.  One of the common problems we have with Orca is that people expect it to be a JAWS clone, which Orca is not.  So, if the man page is going to include something regarding the flat review commands, it should also include a section stating that the preferred interaction method is using the built-in keyboard navigation mechanisms provided by GNOME and that flat review is a fallback method for examining applications and working with ill-behaved applications.

Can you add this?

Thanks again!
