Hi Paul, thanks for that. I will keep that in mind. Roger Levine sent me a message offline, to try pressing enter after entering the hotkey. By doing this, I was taken out of the menu. However, when I went back in, my hotkey was there, and I just tabbed to okay and was done. Interestingly though, by using enter, the apply button disappeared. But the procedure still worked, so I have my hotkey "smile". I will remember your suggestion though, as it will avoid me having to go back into the menu. thanks Jason P.S I am also in Aust ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Magill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 9:59 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] problem making a new hotkey stick
