Hello Phil -

>> I too have limited vision. Nothing I can gain [a] great deal

>> This is _with_ corrective lensed bifocals btw. 

PM> Not really comparable, although I at first thought so as

PM> help. We're talking about diabetic retinopathy, macular
PM> degeneration, advanced cataracts that for various reasons
PM> are inoperable, etc. Some of these people will be

PM> house, exhange your glasses for a pair of very dark
PM> sunglasses, then try to cook your supper. Or, an easier
PM> experiment, as I suggested below: remove your bifocals and
PM> call up the help screen in WRITE. [g] And tell me when and
PM> in what neighborhood you intend to take a drive. [g] 

Sounds to me like they need automated hardware screen readers.

>> The spacing of user displays can be altered somewhat (which

PM>  Spacing? Meaning what? 

The amount of space allocated to the ICON textual labels both
horizontally and vertically and the amount of space between
ICONS horizontally and vertically.
