Help the Floundering Newbie!

I think the first order of business is to put things back into
perspective.

If you want to work with the console for the development, then procure one
machine for your development activities. This is a good idea anyway. All
of the software mentioned can be installed on your development machine
with no monetary investment beyond the hardware it is running on. Then you
can code with emacspeak. You can code in pico with speakup. Or you can ask
Kirk and some others what they use for development.

The thing is that developing code for a Linux box can easily be done with
whatever you prefer to use. You could write code for your linux machine in
notepad on a windows machine.

If a person comes with a strong unix background then moving to development
on a linux machine should be an easy enough thing to do. Most of those
same tools used before can be used here.

Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
