OK, that explains it, Yes, you must use num pad insert+J, to open the Jaws

i have tried it both ways. grin.
right now i am useing laptop layout and in the system tray.
my keys that open the context menu are the jaws capslock, shift, and control.
the insert key works if i tell jaws to use the insert key in the settings 
center.
i forgot i have to turn this off because i have a program just checking that 
uses the insert key for most of its shortcut keys and can not be changed.
that is why the insert j keys don't work.

About JAWS Cursors
Navigating through Windows with JAWS is accomplished with cursors.
These cursors determine the focus of JAWS speech and are often directly linked 
with Windows cursors.

The PC Cursor - Follows Keystrokes

This cursor is linked to the keyboard functions of Windows and applications.
This is the cursor that is used when typing information, moving through options 
in dialog boxes, and selecting options or icons.
As you type information, the PC Cursor follows along with each key you press.
If you are making a selection in a menu or dialog box, the PC Cursor highlights 
the currently selected object.
The PC Cursor is activated by default when JAWS starts. If you are using a

The PC Cursor is activated by default when JAWS starts. If you are using a 
different cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS returns you to the PC Cursor.
*Tip, If you are using the Jaws touch cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS twice 
quickly returns you to the PC Cursor.

The JAWS Cursor - Follows Mouse Pointer

The JAWS Cursor is linked to mouse pointer functions in Windows and other 
applications.
It is used to read information the PC Cursor cannot read, such as toolbar 
information.
The mouse follows along with the JAWS Cursor when it is moved, and you 
therefore have access to information in an application window that is beyond 
the scope of the PC Cursor.
To activate the JAWS Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS.

The Invisible Cursor - Explore Without Moving Focus

The Invisible Cursor allows you to move around the screen without changing 
the position of the PC Cursor or mouse pointer.
You can use this cursor to read text and access options that you cannot move 
to with the PC Cursor.
You can also use the Invisible Cursor to provide a quick overview of the 
information currently available on the screen.
To activate the Invisible Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS twice quickly.

if jaws is not in the system tray all you have to do is alt tab to open the 
jaws screen and press f1 to do the same thing.
i can not put jaws in the system tray as a standard user because i can not 
unhide the icons. what i change as a administrator will not apply to the 
standard user account either.

How to access and use the Jaws help topics system.
Most of this material was taken directly from the Jaws help system of the Jaws

swiping.
When activated from the keyboard, you can use keystrokes to simulate touch 
screen gestures to move through the objects in an application to access 
information that is not readily accessible using the JAWS or PC Cursor.
