Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS cursor question
Hello,
When you push the minus key, you activate the JAWS cursor and when you
read and move around with your arrows you're doing so with the use of
your JAWS cursor which allows you to move unhindered between different
parts of applications and even between applications. When you route
one cursor to the other, (for example PC to JAWS) you have moved the
PC cursor to where the JAWS cursor is. Why is this useful? Let's say
you're moving around a form with your JAWS cursor because you wish to
know its layout. Your PC cursor is somewhere at the top of the page.
If you route the PC to the JAWS, you are now able to fill out the
field that your JAWS cursor is sitting on. You can not edit text with
your JAWS cursor which necessitates you moving the PC cursor to the
JAWS cursor. And when you route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor, you
are moving your JAWS cursor to wherever it ended up to the PC cursor.
This is useful because if you're navigating around, your JAWS cursor
gets stuck someplace like the start button and you wish to bring it
back, or if you want to begin using the JAWS cursor where the PC
cursor is, then you route the JAWS to the PC. I hope this was more
clear.
Thanks.

To any and All:
I have a question regarding the JAWS cursor functions. On several of the
instructions that have been given over time, there has been mentioning of
routing the JAWS cursor to PC cursor. My question is this: What is the
difference, function-wise, between pressing the JAWS Key plus the Minus
key
on the numpad and simply pressing the minus key? Hope my phrasing makes
sense to someone.
Many thanks.
Jerry
