Hi Jitendra. Thank you for your reply. My son, who is sighted, told me that there is no cursor drawn in this window until I press either the right or left arrow key. After realizing that this was a cursor problem, I began to play around and found out that when the window is first created the PC cursor is active, but when I press either right or left arrow, the virtual cursor becomes active. I got this from doing alt+delete to get active cursor and pixel info. I have enhanced edit support turned on in this program, as it is necessary for my scripts to work at all. Could that have anything to do with it? I wonder if this is just a bug in the program or if I can get JAWS to somehow force the cursor to be drawn. Maybe the cursor is there somewhere but JAWS just doesn't seem to grab onto it right away. One thing is certain, if it is there, it's not visible. I'll have to do some more playing around. Again, thanks for your reply. Perhaps I might be able to speak with the man who develops the Online Bible program. He already is well aware of screen reader users and might be receptive to improving this feature if I can convince him that it's a bug.
