Alternatively if your terminal type prevents this from working you can
use ctrl+p and ctrl+n to move up and down through commands, and you can
use ctrl+b and ctrl+f to move left and right respectively.
Jaws/windoweyes are not likely to track the cursor very well though, so
you might have a hard time editing commands, but going up and down
through the history should work fine. Some day when you are feeling
brave you can tackle "man bash" which is full of useful information, but
is very long and its hard to remember all the details.
