[JAWSLite] Re: Text selection

Hi Jacob,
Jamal's Homer Kit will allow you to first set a marker in text and then go
the the other end of the block and select to the marker.
I believe it works in Notepad, Wordpad and in Outlook and perhaps OE.
 Maybe someone here has the direct link?

Yup, I use that one often in windows explorer etc., but like I said, I'm
specifically sort of looking os some sort of selection functionality in
'text' files/editors.

In the old days I would just have left the cursor in a certain place, and
used the mouse to scroll down using the scroll-bar, and then, holding in the
'shift' key, just have clicked at the second point, but, obviously, that
won't work using jaws. Not easily anyway since you'd sort of have to use the
Jaws cursor to 'find' the scroll-down symbol without actually knowing how
far down you were actually going.
