Hi Darrel, Carol & all:
I use JAWS for DOS with windows 95 and have since the first release. I use
a accentPc and have both executed in the autoexec.bat. I have a line
"switches=/c" in the config.sys. When I go to a DOS window or the DOS mode
the JFD takes effect and JFW goes to sleep. This works reasonably well for
me.
If I can help let me know,
George
