Ok, I'll have to listen to the podcast again and try and work it out. Yes, I think there'll be a way, but can't remember off hand.

if you use the arrow keys or  the tab key."

If that's how it will work I can see a problem here!
What if you were arrowing down, starting from before the edit field, and you 
want To go past, edit,  i.e go further down the screen. If you are
automatically placed in to forms, (just because you have arrived here by
the use of arrow key) you are now going to need to come right out, to carry 
on down the screen.

Now as I now the programmers of Jaws not stupid, I have clearly missed
something here.
