[chuck-users] Fiddle with ChucK

[Dana Batali]

Hi Rich, as you surmise, much of the app uses custom drawing and
therefore escapes the attention of screen readers.  That said, the
integrated code-editor and documentation reader seem to sort-of work
with Microsoft Navigator.  With only that subset of the Fiddle
experience, I'm uncertain that Fiddle will be better than whatever
authoring environment you normally use.

Regards, Dana
