That's interesting. My Jaws 8 makes that beeping sound when I hit the top or
bottom of a screen in, let's see... Open Book, and that's about it. It
doesn't happened when I'm navigating up and down within an open and fully
maximized (for what that might matter) email, such as yours, nor does it
happen when I hit the top or bottom of a Web page, nor in a Word document.
No wonder I'm not complaining. I use Open Book less than all my other
applications. Just thinking aloud.

I myself find that helpful.
To know I have gone to the bottom of my e mail.

Subject: JAWS Beep at top/bottom of lists
This is likely a stupid question...
In JAWS 8, there is a system beep whenever you hit the top or bottom of a
list, which is different from all of the prior JAWS releases.
I really do find this annoying though, not least because of the time delay
required to trigger the event and load the sound file. (Yes, it's only a
fraction of a second, but it's still annoying when it wasn't there before.)
and I would like to somehow return the behavior back to silence, or my
personal favorite in OE ("top of window").
I haven't been able to determine if there is a setting that can control
this, or if there is a script reference in the Default script file that
triggers this. Any ideas? Hopefully it's one of these, since it would then
be easy to fix. Otherwise, it might be hard coded, and it would be an
uncorrectable annoyance.
Thanks for any input,
Bryan Garaventa
