Hi Andy,
I understand where you are coming from, but
users should familiarize themselves with the specific keys labeled by their
screen-reader.
Many times we confuse ourselves, by not reading the documentation provided
with the product,
and then listening to terms that are used inter-changeably by different
people.
Just my opinion.

This is one of many situations where using the expression "JAWS key"
may not be helpful. I think it is preferable to call keys by their
standard names. If you are using JAWS in its laptop configuration, the
so called JAWS key is actually the CAPS LOCK key, and I think it would
be more helpful to use that description.

Thank you, you taught me something new today because my insert key is
the
second key from the right across the top row.

Some laptops have an insert key, often on the top row, second key from
the
right. Also, often there is a jaws key on the bottom row, second from
the
left, just to the right of the control key. If you hold down the jaws
key, the nine keys, JKL, UIO, and 7 8 9, have the number pad
functions.
Holding down the caps lock key and pressing these keys performs other
reading functions. Experiment with your laptop and see what happens.
Also, don't forget about Insert plus 1, keyboard help. You might
experiment with your laptop using keyboard help and learn how it
functions. That's how I learned to use both of mine.

Jaws Users,
I have been using my Dell 1545 laptop with an external number pad.
My
question to the list is what is the learning curve if I decided to
do
away with the external number pad and just use the keys on the
keyboard?
Is there any tutorials on this topic anywhere? I have Jaws 10 and my
windows is XP. thanks for all help offered on this matter. I thought
it
best to learn this while school is out for the summer.
