 Dale,

           And in that simple statement you are completely correct, and vice 
versa.   However, Freedom Scientific documents a number of Windows keyboard 
shortcuts in their own JAWS keystrokes document without ever differentiating, 
clouding the water.  Some have already been mentioned, but just looking quickly 
at the JAWS 15 Keystrokes document, here are a few examples of Windows keyboard 
shortcuts included in it without mention that they are not, really, JAWS 
commands:

TAB and SHIFT+TAB to move back and forth between different areas in a Windows 
Explorer window

CTRL+T to open a new tab in a web browser

CTRL+TAB to shift to the next tab in a web browser  

CTRL+9 to shift to the last tab in the web

and there are probably more.  One could argue that these are not Windows 
keyboard shortcuts, but keyboard shortcuts specific to web browsers for the 
last three, but what they are certainly not is a JAWS keystroke.

I think others have actually confirmed what I had hoped would be confirmed in 
terms of what I select to teach and how, and that is that it is important to be 
able to understand, at a minimum, that there is a distinct difference between 
JAWS control keystrokes and Windows program control keystrokes.  You pointed 
out that critical difference, and there are times when understanding it can 
save a person a world of heartache.
