The MSAAMode option affects how JAWS gets information from MSAA controls.
It appears this can be set to 0, 1, 2, or 3. I can't find much
documentation on what the different settings do. In AOL Boxely.jcf, the
comment says that msaamode=3 is "new" MSAA logic. In some scripts, the
option is temporarily switched to 2 for certain classes. Can anybody clear
up what the various settings do and what minimum version of JAWS supports
each of them? By the way, I'm using JAWS 8.

A related item is a control's setting in the [MSAAClasses] section of the
application's JCF file. Mapping control class WeirdControl to MSAA places
an entry WeirdControl=1 in [MSAAClasses]. Pretty straightforward, use MSAA
for this control. I see JCF files that have SomeControl=0 in the
[MSAAClasses] section. Does this mean "don't trust MSAA at all for this
control" or something else?

Any information is appreciated. I'll add the answers to the Wiki.
