Hello David This is very reassuring; thank you. I guess we'll have to look and see if we can get funds for Gordon.

Like NVDA insert or if you are laptop layout caps lock plus 1 will toggle keyboard help on and off. The main difference is in screen review. Jaws uses something called the Jaws cursor which is the equivalent I think of what is described as the Mouse cursor in Windows Eyes. Below is a short summary of the Jaws cursor from memory. To turn Jaws Cursor on press num pad minus or caps lock plus P in laptop layout. To turn normal PC cursor back on press num pad plus or caps lock plus semi colon in ;laptop layout. You can restrict the Jaws cursor to various window settings such as focus window current window real window or unrestricted. I normally maximize windows and use unrestricted if I am using the Jaws cursor . You can toggle these restriction settings by pressing jaws key plus R to cycle through the available options. The other access feature of Jaws is the virtual window. This converts all the text on the screen into a virtual window. I believe this has been enhanced in Jaws 13. basically you press Jaws key plus alt plus W to create this virtual window. You can select and copy all the produced text onto the clipboard. This is useful if you want to get access to text which is not normally spellable or editable with Jaws. You can also use it on a directory to get all the available filenames for example. Voiceover actually does a much better job of this kind of thing actually but I find this jaws feature useful in Windows .

Technology Enthusiasm! Subject: JFW Hello everybody OK, Gordon and I, not just myself, are about to try JFW. Given that we're totally new to the product, is there anything specific we should know? How, for instance, do we browse the screen? What about Gordon's Blue Tooth Humanware Brailliant 40 Braille display; will it work?
