JAWS does have a facility for obtaining the current cursor position in
pixels: alt + delete.

Hi Thomas,
I know that you and I have a totally different method of programming etc.
You know like I like to program in the VB6 IDE. So I do not use Note Pad
or any other text editor for writing my code. I write it in the VB6 IDE
and then test run it right off. And I use HJ Pad for writing EEmail
because it has a spell checker. But I can see that the editor programs
that you mentioned would definitely have advantages if you needed to know
indents etc for your programming code. The only thing is, I definitely
need a spell checker for Email, but I have found them to be totally
impractical for programming even inVB6 because of the in aimed variable
names, VB6 commands etc. And I find that having the VB6 IDE open and then
some old code open in Note Pad to copy and paste bits of code works very
well for me. But again VB6 doesn't demand special indents etc. I imagine
that a spell checker would have even more problems with all of the special
syntax etc of programming languages that have so much special punctuation
etc rather than English words like VB6 has.
I very much miss that, in dos Jaws had a feature where it would report row
and column. I could then be confident that the text that I was putting on
the screen was formatted correctly and all lined up nicely. But in
windows rows and columns are all relevant because the window can open
anywhere on the screen with any number of other windows open, and thus all
of the spacing is relevant. So I am not confident with putting text on
the screen in windows. Well other than the MSG and Input boxes that VB6
offers.
So, to rap up, I do not find a need for the elaborate text editor programs
that you recommend, but I find it works for me to program right in the VB6
IDE. But if I were to be writing code in a text editor for other
programming languages, I bet that I would find a need for the options in
the text editor programs that you are talking about and recommending.
TGIF and BFN
Jim
I like Visual Basic 6.0 because I can not C.
