I've removed this keystroke from the default file so I don't fall into that 
trap. I've never used the home row feature, and understand that it's more used 
by scripters.

You can delete the offending keystrokes as follows:

JAWS+F2 and then k for keyboard manager
then arrow or press "D" until you hear default
Tab and press "H" until you find Home Row toggle. There may be two, one for 
laptop, one for desktop.
press the delete key on either or both and accept the Y/N question
Alt-F and exit.

No more home row.

Dave

  You accidentally put Jaws into home row mode.  you did that by pressing the 
Jaws key and spacebar.

    Last night while recording and getting impatient, I accidentally pressed a 
key on the PC keyboard.  Oh, no!  But I really said other words I can't post 
here.) If I move up and down it says Most, Some, None, etc.  Moving to the left 
and right it moves through the numbers 1 through 50 it seems.  I couldn't get 
it to disappear.  I saved my project and went to the desktop where it still 
existed.  I rebooted and it was gone.  Luckily my project was saved, but it was 
a pain to have to reboot.  This is the second time I have done this 
accidentally.  Is this a JAWS reading selection menu or something to do with XP 
Pro?  And if so, how can I close it next time I do this?  Any answers would be 
appreciated.
    S.B.
