Yeah just tested this again for you steven
to be sure. in jaws 10 at least, it certainly does matter, which cursor is 
active when you first enter that jawsControlF find box, and where the jaws 
cursor is onscreen.
just as, indeed it would, before instituting the findGraphic function within a 
script, as jackie suggested.
I thought for a horrible moment, that they weren't even gunna allow you to have 
the pc cursor active during the actual find Dialog box exploration before 
hitting enter, so's you could accurately confirm that the right find stuff was 
in the edit box, but, this wasn't true, so long as jaws cursor is active before 
you enter it,  and it is above the labelled graphic in question, and graphics 
verbosity is set to, labelled , then it should, note I say Should, find it.
note too, though, that this means, that you gotta hav jawsCursor active, hit 
the insertControlF hotkey to bring up the jawsFind dialog, then switch the 
jolly thing back to pc cursor, so's your readCurrentLine etc, hotkeys, relate 
to pc cursor and will correctly identify the stuff in the edit box of your 
findGraphic details etc, then hit enter.  That's kinda annoying and it would be 
nice if it by default, just auto set the active cursor back to pc Cursor, as 
you'd intuitively expect it might do, so that hitting readCurrentLine would 
read the right stuff in the field you expect it should, instead of staying in 
jaws Cursor mode and thus reading non-relevant stuff.
hth.
