Good morning!

I can't answer all of your questions, but I definitely have a soulution for
the first one!
Once you've typed something into the console and pressed Enter, the output
should be displayed. In order to read that, you will need to route the JAWS
cursor to the PC cursor. To do this, use Insert+[ (left bracket). You can
then use the arrow keys to read the output. When you are ready to type into
the console again, simply navigate to where you see the > (greater than)
and use Insert + ; (simicolon) to use the PC cursor, and then you can type
again.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions you can feel free to
e-mail me at stomberg8 at gmail.com I can't promise that I have all the
answers, but I learned R recently as well, and I definitely know the
basics!

Good luck!
Kennedy
