Jack,
Maybe something's buffering your Jaws output in such a way that you can't 
silence it immediately.  But I have Jaws6, also, and for instance, when I do 
a say all on your email message below, it reads until I hit Control, and 
that shuts it up immediately.

That said, my old system developed a problem where every time I'd select a 
large amount of text in a Wordpad document file, Jaws would start reading 
the selected block of text and couldn't be shut up no matter what I did.  I 
don't know what that was about, lacking the adequate tech savvy.  but I know 
the frustration you're having.  Hope someone can help you figure out what 
may be causing this.
Daniel.

Hi Everyone,

OK, I'll say up front that this isn't the most important thing in the world 
when
it comes to Jaws.  However, having said that, has anyone noticed how Jaws
doesn't stop talking as quickly when you tap the control key?  It seems to 
me
that in past versions, you just hit the control key once, and Jaws stopped
talking right away.  Now, it may take5/10 seconds for jaws to stop talking. 
As
I said, this isn't that big of a deal.  I just wondered if anyone else had
noticed this.   Jack
