Anne:
It sounds like Dragon is probably in Dictation Mode. When in this mode, it
will only transcribe what you say, not perform any commands.
I don't know what the J-Say command is that allows you to check which Dragon
Mode you are in, but you can switch to Normal Mode by saying
"Normal Mode On"
J-Say/JAWS should echo the command switch (if you have command echo on).
Once in Normal Mode, you should be able to use the command functions.
Give that a try and see what happens.
For reference, the Dragon Recognition Modes are as follows:
Normal Mode - allows both dictation and command processing
Dictation Mode - only performs dictation
Command Mode - only processes commands, will not type anything
Numbers Mode - only wants to hear numbers, other dictation/commands will either
not be processed or will be interpreted as a number (usually with bizarre
results)
Spell Mode - only wants to hear letters, other dictation/commands gives
inaccurate results. I've found this mode to be cumbersome, since if you pause
in spelling, it inserts a space wherever the pause is
Hope that helps.

Subject: [j-say list] Dragon not accepting commands
I'm new to speech input, and assume I have something set wrong somewhere. When
I dictate, Dragon is happy. When I say 'move down one', Dragon types it into
my document. When I say "press control n"
it either ignores me or goes ting. How do I explain that I am commanding????
Thanks,
