I'll attend a bit to your second question.  You can turn a lot of gibberish
off in the html optins of configuration manager of jaws.  The keystrokes are
quite good but the information can still be overwhelming.  With practice
though, it is easy to use ie with jaws.  One keystroke that can be quite
usefull to get to the meat of the page or at least to attempt to do so is
ins+tab which takes you to the first string of 25 characters (by default
which can be changed) of non element text.  This often is where the meat of
the page begins but if not, pres ins+tab again and see where you land.  I
jaws 4.51, there are many new enhancements that make the reading experience
even better.

I think it's about my question--a two-parter--about hard returns (bad) and
also about maneuvering through websites using Jaws.  The response...which
was really helpful, listed many of the keyboard commands for doing so & it
must have looked daunting.
