Mario, Yes, that's a good point. That way, the actual application is not invoked.

I went into properties under jaws 16 and deleted the key assignment, only each time I try assigning that key combo to jaws 17 in the property dialogue, instead of assigning the keystroke it starts up jaws 16. When I open the property dialogue under 16, it shows no hotkey assigned. What am I missing?
