Gene, fortunately, invoking the JAWS cursor is easy. Just press the top-right key of the numpad, above the long +/PC cursor key. You can toggle between the JAWS and PC cursors by alternately pressing these two keys. Working with the JAWS cursor has two important functions. First, it enables you to move around the screen without accidentally pressing a control. Second, it often gives you more information than you can get with the PC cursor.
