Hi Brian;
Here is my solution to the back space problem. It is Ken Gould's revision
to the JawsBackSpace script found in the default.jss file. HJ tech support
says the script causes a flickering of the cursor which is distracting to
sighted and partially sighted users. If you can live with that, try this:
Press shift+control+0 (on the key board) to bring up the default.jss file.
Press control +L and arrow down until you hear "JawsBackSpace". Pressing J
gets you there faster.
Press enter to be put on the script and arrow down a couple of times.
Press control+D to get to the documentation dialogue box for the script.
Tab over to where you can assign a key stroke. It will tell you "back
space" is assigned.
Assign a different key stroke. I use shift+ back space.
Tab to OK and press enter.
You can reverse this process if you don't like the following solution.
Press control + end to get to the bottom of the file.
Press the enter key a couple of times to get a little room.
Paste the following script in at that point.
Script JawsBackspaceRevised () ;{back space}
; modified to correct reading error
var
int TheTypeCode
SaveCursor ()
PCCursor ()
let TheTypeCode = GetWindowSubtypeCode (GetCurrentWindow())
If ((TheTypeCode == WT_TREEVIEW) || (TheTypeCode == WT_LISTVIEW)) then
{backspace}
else
; RouteInvisibleToPc () ; commented out
; InvisibleCursor () ; commented out
PriorCharacter ()
SayCharacter ()
NextCharacter () ; Added
{backspace}
endif
RestoreCursor ()
EndScript
Press control + S to compile the script file.
Now, with the cursor somewhere in the new script, press control + D to get
to the documentation dialogue for the new script.
Tab over to where you can assign a key stroke and press "backspace".
Tab to OK and press enter.
Press control + S to compile the script file again.
This should do it, but you may have to unload and reload JFW for the change
to take.

I would be interested to know if any of you are having problems with
INCERT-c not reading the word in context when spell-checking
in Word 97.
Also in Outlook Express 5 I'm still having the problem in which the
"backspace" key doesn't recognize 2 spaces after a punctuation
mark. Instead it says space, and my punctuation mark, and then says the
punctuation again if I hit the key a 3rd time.
So If I have a period at the end of a sentence and 2 spaces, if I try
backspacing 3 times, I'll hear, "space, period period."
I don't know where this ghost punctuation is coming from, but it's quite
confusing. This happens whether the window is
restored, or maximized.
I still can't get the menu for Mail Merge in Word 97 to speak, though I know
some have had no problems.
My MSN.COM start page will still only read the first screen full, and then
stop. On other pages, JFW seems to read the entire
web page.
Like I said, I would be very interested to see what some of you find with
this new version.
Brian
