Hello,
Here is a free dictionary that works well with JFW. You have to go to Jaws
cursor to read the definitions. You don't arrow through words, you enter
the word you want the definition for and hit enter. Then just switch to
Jaws cursor and arrow up or down. Its that simple!!!
You can get it here:
http://www.x-word.com/thesaurus/
and arrow down to USA FTP, or whatever country you are from.
It works with JFW 3.2, 3.3, but I don't know about 3.31.
Hope this helps and if you want more free programs that work well with Jaws
let me know.
you can E-Mail me at:

Subject: using JAWS with various applications
> I'm using JAWS 3.3 and have found it to be very helpful while using
various

trouble

> I tried using Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th ed., and JAWS

word

Can
