thanks a lot!
Now in another note related to this tic, would you know how to chang the key 
which is assigned as the jaws key in the jaws it self?
I mean I have trouble because in laptop mode sometimes the capslock key works 
as the jaws key and some functions only work with the capslock instead of the 
insert key. I asked freedom a while ago but they would not help. they just said 
if the key was not working it was because it was a virtual machine and jaws 
just does not work. Of course this is not a mac related question directly. But 
I read in version 11 and 12 we can reassign the jaws key to a few different 
options. I just wonder how?
