Mario,
The behavior you describe is consistent with the browser "thinking" that 
you are clicking where there is no link, e.g., on a blank area of the 
page. If that is what is going on, then I would expect a left-click or 
other means of following the link to fail similarly. If you can 
successfully follow the link, even if all you really want to do is 
record its URL, you could follow it, then navigate to the address bar 
and copy it from there. Maybe there's some sort of focus-problem with 
the screen readers. Since I'm not a full-time screen reader user (I'm 
sighted and use them only for testing) nor a web developer, I don't have 
any more concrete ideas on the potential cause of the problem.
Lois

Lois, I accidentally deleted your last reply and question. this has been 
the third time I've done this this month...sorry. but...

when using Firefox or Internet Explorer, pressing the right click, 
applications key or a shift+f10 on the name and/or download link does 
bring up the context menu and the first choice is "back" followed by 
"forward unavailable". I have started both browsers without any 
addons/plugins but have gotten the same results prior to disabling all 
addons/plugins. I have also tried using JAWS and NVDA, thinking it might 
be a screen reader issue, but it doesn't appear that it is.
