Please do report back to us all here when you get an answer from FS about this.

 I absolutely will.  The following is the e-mail message I sent to FS Tech 
Support yesterday.  The title I allude to is the title of this very thread.  If 
when they respond, and they always have, I'll post the response here, too.

Hello,
 
         A topic by this title has just come up on the JAWS for Windows mailing 
list, and it is a question I have had myself as a sighted JAWS tutor for a very 
long time now.  I have finally wrapped my head around the JAWS virtual cursor 
and that both webpages and PDF files are reformatted in JAWS virtual space and 
traversed in JAWS virtual space and for someone who cannot see this is a 
complete non issue.  However, sighted assistants and tutors such as myself are 
often called upon, and even if we do understand the JAWS virtual cursor (and 
many don't) it is insanity-making for a sighted person trying to assist to even 
begin to figure out where on the "real web page" JAWS is currently processing 
in JAWS virtual space.
         Is there any setting one can use in JAWS, whether "on demand" or 
permanent, that will make JAWS cause the actual web page to scroll as necessary 
to follow, visually, where the JAWS virtual cursor is in JAWS virtual space 
that corresponds to that visual location?
