Bruce,

Thanks for the class notes from Chip, everybody does have access to these via 
the GWMicro web site, though I do appreciate the research efforts.

I was attempting to re-do some examples from jaws training to show to my 
co-workers. One of the the labs moves the jaws cursor to the bottom of the 
current window and then speaks the information.

I was able to do this fairly easily, but then realized that with the text 
object I should be able to get data from any line on the screen without moving 
either the mouse or we-cursor.

I got the outline windows rectangle converted that to a screen rectangle and 
then asked for the line of text starting at the bottom right of the window.

I was finding that the function was recovering the line just below and to the 
left of the current window. I had to remember  learn that I needed a copy of 
the text object. 

I was not able to determine a good method to move just inside of the outlines 
edge and just changed my starting point by 20 pixels vertically. I was hoping 
that the text.priorline would work but had no success there.

   
Best wishes,

Jonathan
