This brings up another question. Does JAWS have an API we can access?

Freedom Scientific has been aware of this since the Windows 7 bvta. In the past, I have attempted to call the nircmd commands from a JAWS Script to properly lower / raise the system volume and also scripts which create hotkeys to lower / raise the volume of the current application, such as Internet Explorer. While this should not be that hard, I had difficulty programmatically getting the text string for the application which is used in the Volume Mixer and used as an argument in the nircnd command. *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> On 2/22/2012 10:08 PM, Jim Snowbarger wrote: > Yes, I just looked at the list of examples.
