Hi Flor,
That certainly brought some more clarification to the subject!
In the meantime I went to Jaws help, which certainly for most of us when in
Jaws press alt & h, arrow down and
enter on your desired topic, reading it by pressing F6!
There is an amount of information there which I didn't have the time to go
through but it looks good!
My wife and I are off to Jersey early in the morning for our wedding
anniversary so don't think it rude of me that I do not respond immediately
to any follow up emails or tutorials on the Jaws cursor!
Tony.
