I've seen this behavior in NoteTab as well. The problem is not with JFW
but with NoteTab. When you press control-up or control-down it's
scrolling through the document and not jumping to the start of
the next paragraph. This is why JFW isn't reading what you would expect.
You can also try TextPad. A blind friend of mine used to speak very
highly of it, and maybe he still does, but I haven't used it myself, so
I'm not sure if it'll do what you want.
I snagged "HippoEDIT - Programmers text editor for Windows" recently
when it was on giveawayoftheday.com. I haven't played with it much, but
it seems accessible. It may do what you want as well.
I would suspect Inthane's Grab Bag at
http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com/ would have some editors worth
investigating as well.
Sorry I wasn't much help! Good luck. and let us know what you find out!
