Hi Eric,
I haven't installed it yet, but I hope there's one issue solved that's been
in most if not all jaws versions since the check for updates was
implemented. When I do an update, and the update completes, there's no
option to reboot the computer later rather than immediately. This is
annoying, especially if you're in the middle of something and don't wish to
restart your machine at that particular time.

Hi Jim,
We have moved away from the traditional Config Manager and put these into
the "Settings Center". Read the description below and experiment with the
settings center using the new search option to find these items. I think
you'll get the hang of it.
Regards,
Eric
Settings Center
JAWS Settings Center is a new feature that allows you to quickly configure
and globally apply JAWS settings, or configure and apply settings for a
specific application. It consolidates all options into one convenient
dialog box. It includes a Search edit box, which provides an extremely
fast way to find and edit JAWS functionality. Settings Center continues to
use JCF files and is a direct replacement for Configuration Manager.
Settings Center consists of six primary areas described below. Press TAB
or SHIFT+TAB to move through different parts of the dialog box.
* Application combo box: Select an application from the list to modify its
settings for use with JAWS. To retrieve the JAWS default settings, press
CTRL+SHIFT+D. To retrieve application settings, press SHIFT+TAB to move
focus to the Application combo box. Next, select the application from the
combo box, and then press TAB to move focus back to the tree view pane.
* Search edit box: Press CTRL+E to move focus to the Search box. Type a
search word or phrase in the edit box to reduce the number of items that
appear in the tree view list. Press DOWN ARROW to move to search results,
and then press ENTER to move focus directly to that item in the tree view.
* Settings tree view pane: Use the tree view pane to select and change
settings for the selected application. To retrieve the JAWS default
settings, press CTRL+SHIFT+D. To retrieve application settings, press
SHIFT+TAB twice to move focus to the Application combo box. Next, select
the application from the combo box, and then press TAB to move focus back
to the tree view pane. For a brief description of the item selected in the
tree view, press TAB to move focus to the read-only edit box. Use the Say
Line or Say All commands to read the help message. To vertically scroll
through the tree view, use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys, PAGE UP and PAGE
DOWN keys, or first letter navigation. Use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys
to expand or collapse tree view groups. Use the SPACEBAR to move through
and change settings for each option.
* Configuration display pane: As you move through the tree view, a sighted
user can simultaneously track cursor movement using the configuration
display pane. Press F6 to switch between the tree view and this pane. This
is necessary when typing in an edit or edit spin box.
* Help message pane: Displays context-sensitive help for the item
currently selected in the tree view. Use the Say Line or Say All commands
to read the help message.
* Apply, OK, and Cancel: Use Apply to make changes. Use OK to save changes
and close Settings Center. Use Cancel to close Settings Center without
saving changes.
To use Settings Center, do the following:
1. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center. Settings appear for the
application that has focus. The cursor is in the Search edit box.
2. If you know the setting that you want to change, type a term for it in
the edit box. For example, type the word "braille" without the quotes for
a filtered list of braille settings. Next, press DOWN ARROW to move to the
filtered results in the tree view.
Note: To load the default JAWS settings, press CTRL+SHIFT+D, and then
search for the setting as previously described.
To select a different application, press SHIFT+TAB to move to the
Application edit box. Use ARROW Keys or first letter navigation to select
the application, and then press CTRL+E to search for the setting as
previously described.
3. Press SPACEBAR to select check boxes, radio buttons, or other buttons,
and press F6 to switch between an edit box and the tree view to change
settings.
4. Choose Apply to apply changes and remain in Settings Center, OK to save
changes and exit Settings Center, or Cancel to close Settings Center
without saving changes. The new settings are saved to the appropriate JCF
file.

Erick, I have had some trouble with forms mode. I want it off, and I have
had trouble getting it that way. also, I want to uncheck blocked quotes.
Where is that? I couldn't find it. also, I want some translation in
numbers.
Again, Where is that? Jim
