Hi David, Isn't notepad listed in the left hand pane of the keyboard manager when it first opens? Just open the keyboard manager. Focus should already be in the left pane. Just type n repeatedly and see if you cycle through the name notepad. If it isn't there, create a user notepad script in script manager. If you assign a key to the script (go through the control+e dialog to create the script skeleton first), a jkm file will be created when you compile, and then keyboard manager will know about notepad. hth Martin __________ Visit and contribute to The JAWS Script Repository http://jawsscripts.com View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts
