Huh? What did I do now :-)

Seriously, whichever menu the gent chooses to use, it would make sense to do
it this way:

I know some folks have done some interesting things with arrow key support,
but as a Jaws 10 user I can now attest to the fact that completely hiding
the menus from blind surfer is the better solution. It can be done with any
scripted menu, but it cannot be done with Son of Suckerfish.
