The jumping around was the Jaws quick navigation keys jumping to various parts of the screen, like, H for the next heading. And as someone already mentioned, you press enter to turn on "forms mode" before typing into an edit field. HTH.

Since I have several friends using this I wanted to learn it myself. What is happening only with Firefox, and no other application as far as I can tell, is that the keyboard keys on the left-hand side, r,d,f,c, etc., causes the webpage to either move around the screen, as if I were using the cursor keys, or cause dialog boxes to appear that are not from Firefox, apparently Jaws is intercepting keystrokes instead of allowing Firefox to see them, and running its own dialog boxes. I can not enter any text into any text field. Logging into yahoo email is impossible while Jaws is running with Firefox. On the other issue that I mentioned; why can't jaws just send text data directly to Com4 or any serial comport, for the sake of whatever external synthesizer might be there. I see no reason for such a simple feature to be available! I am very surprised and taken back by what I am finding out there. Considering the enormous expense of Jaws to its users, I certainly would expert far more intelligent design then what I am finding. I see that DoubleTalk LT is a device listed on the available synthesizers. Well that would send data to whatever Com port I designate. It must be that Jaws is asking questions of DoubleTalk, or using some other way to access Com4 then simply writely directly to the internal uart... I don't know. I think it foolish this isn't working as simply as I think it should be. with that said... I find that it could be useful, in some cases, to have both the eloquence commanded by Jaws doing its thing, and a dedicated application sending data to my DecTalk via the Com4 route using my own program. For example, since Xchat is not a recognized application by Jaws, I am still able to hear what is going on without a whole lot of fuss. Naturally, I would want a properly designed Jaws plugin being designed for Xchat on Win32. Since I am just now getting into this, that is a little ways off. But it is something I would love to see. A Jaws script and/or specific dll plugin for Xchat on win32 and Xp would be nice in my opinion. Just my 2 cents worth. //Rich// ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link Rates near historic lows - $200,000 mortgage for $660/ month - http://yahoo.ratemarketplace.com _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
