> Visit the jfw ml web page: http://jfw.cjb.net I think I found a simpler
way to accomplish this task, if I can remember it. Find your jaws icon in
the jfw menu, desktop, ETc. Then route jaws to pc, then do a right mouse
click. There you can tab down to a place that says shortcut key, then you
can assign what you want. If I am wrong on any of this, anyone can feel
free to correct me. No offense will be taken. Good luck
