Ah, the D key? I know a whole lot of single-letter Web page nav commands,
but I either never knew or have forgotten this one. What does it do?
And let's not get started about Jaws 8 again. It does so many things wrong
I've stopped keeping a list of its misbehaviors for composing an orderly
message to FS. Whenever I get cranky about it stopping reporting when I've
saved or copied a file in Windows Explorer, or that I'm moving a message
from one folder to another in OE, or makes it impossible to maximize a text
file window in WordPad, or starts announcing frame and other page layout
information when I go into Forms Mode to fill out something, not to mention
announcing to me that I'm on a secure server when either I don't care or I
already know that, or slows down my spell check in OE as if AVG were running
its morning scan, and more, I just exit the baby and use the hotkey I've
written to launch Jaws 7. I forget what the big advances in version 8 are
supposed to be, but I get nearly nothing but inconvenience out of it.
Okay. Done venting. Please, no mlectures about reporting everything to FS. I
just don't care anymore. I'll download and install the coming updates, just
to see if anything has improved, but I don't feel like devoting hours of my
life to be a consumer advocate with FS on this one. It's just too much crap
to deal with. Hey, at least I vote, okay? :-)

Let's not forget the D key in internet Explorer, which was formerly a
useful navigation command and which does nothing nowadays.
