I think there may be some confusion which is probably my fault.

What I meant is when in say all mode pressing the up arrow key will move
to
the line above and keep reading.  Pressing the down arrow key will move
to
the next line and keep reading.  You are able to read line by line when
doing this but Jaws just continues to talk.  If you wanted the speech to
stop you could either press the stop speech key and jaws would stop
speaking
with the cursor at the beginning of the word you stopped on and this
word
would be announced to the user.  Or if the Home key is pressed focus
will
move to the beginning of the current line and speech would stop.

How does this sounds?

Thanks,
Nigel
It's not what Operating system you use, it's how productive you are with
it.
