[jawsscripts] Re: List View Events

I will keep this keystroke and the TetherJAWSToPC function in mind.  It has 
not helped yet.  In fact, I am even more confused!  I am not sure what 
cursor is active after my script finishes.  The last statement is the 
PCCursor function.  It seems to act like the PC cursor, but if I switch to 
the JAWS cursor and back, it seems stuck somewhere!  The arrow keys no 
longer moves through the list.  It does this whether the cursors are 
tethered or not.
