There is a script in the act2.jss file, under C:/JFW32/settings/enu that
might suit your purpose. I forget what it is called. In fact, it may also
be attached to the Tab and ShiftTab keys. But It was designed to read the
numerous edit fields in ACT, which very closely fit the description you
gave below. I believe they used the invisible cursor to jump to the left
and read the name of the field, then read the field in the normal way. Hope
I've helped.
