as the other bloke said, use sighted help to position the mouse on the
various invisible graphics/spots within the program you need once, and label
them accordingly, to be then grabbable from a list, or clickable with
hotkeys, or AltShiftTabbable to in a spotRing, and then see how much they
end up moving! you might be pleasantly surprised that they may not. and then
you'll be up and running with using these independently real fast.
