Ivan, it matters not how you install JFW. Both keyboard choices are
available to you through the file menu in jaws. I am in fact, using my
laptop with the laptop configuration as I write this message. You will need
to become familiar with the "pass key through" feature (insert-3) due to the
features of JFW often conflicting with program keys when using the laptop
configuration. Guess that's one of the "costs" of us having such an
excellent, powerful, and feature rich package.
