Sorry Jim, none of these key commands work for me. I'm using Skype 4.2 and scripts 42C as well as Jaws 10. When hitting Alt-1 through alt-0 in a skype chat only says, not in a conversation window. Hitting control 4 only says, the window can't be found. Also, hitting control-shift-O says, unable to get the contact list. Hitting command key O C says, unable to get the contact list. I have it set for compact view. I'm running windows Vista home premium. No clue why this is happening.

I use this feature every day with jaws and window-eyes with no problems. ok in the contact list find some one you want to chat with. now hit the context key. select send im. this will put you in the edit box for chatting. type the message in the edit box. if some one start a chat with you hit control 2 to move to the comversation list select that person hit the space bar now hit control 4 to move to the edit box. to read the recent chats press alt+1 threw zero to get this in a vertual view double click the key. to read the list using skype press control 5 and then use the arrow keys. it works like a dream. hth -------------------------------------------------- From: "Marius Swart" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 3:07 PM To: "Jack" <[email protected]>; "screen access software with skype" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Skype Chat > Greetings Jack and list.
