[Blindmath] Octave questions.

[Doug and Molly Miron]

        Hi All,

Yesterday I downloaded two Windows 64-bit versions of Octave.  One was a 
zipped file which unpacked into c:\users\user\octave.  Among the hundreds of 
files I didn't find an installer or a setup file, although I didn't examine 
every file name.  So I ran the installer.  After installation, Octave 
automatically started and I could hear the menu bar using NVDA, but couldn't 
do anything with the command window, if there was one.

Today I discovered that there are two Octave icons on my desktop, one for 
the GUI interface and one called CLI, which I presume stands for 
command-line interface.  I tried the CLI and was able to hear and define a 
matrix in Matlab style.  I can get the manual through either interface, but 
I haven't found keystrokes that make it navigateable.

I find Derek's LaTeX conversion to speech project interesting.  Since I've 
started research again and MathType isn't accessible for writing equations, 
I took a suggestion from Design Science and started using LaTeX.  Does 
anybody have a suggestion about software to easily convert LaTeX to mathML 
or equivalent?

Regards,
Doug Miron
