Hi Cat Lady and all,
Some things that can help you with your exploration and whether or not to
post a question to the list based on your question(s) below:
Each one of those html options has a little help associated with it which
you can access viajaws key+f1. You can review the message that comes up,
put it in a file if you like and exit it via escape. I learned a lot this
way and by reading manuals and asking a lot of questions because like you, I
have no money for expensive training and have not had good luck when I have
had training because I learn by doing.
Your questions about using jaws with windows media player are exactly what
we are here for. The problem can be that if someone asks:
"How can I get jaws to work with windows media player so that I can change
tracks, burn cds, rip tracks etcettera" and someone comes along and says
that real player is a better program for ripping and burning, the thread
becomes off topic.
If you have a problem with windows and don't know where to go, you can write
to:
poehlman1@xxxxxxxxxxx
and He'll try to help. I know him well. You can also go to google and type
your question in quotes and you might get lucky and not have to wade
througha bunch of technical stuff.

Subject: Re: [JFW] jaws with that attitude of yours:
I think a lot of this stuff in the new versions of jfw are just plain
unclear to us "users"! You people who are more technically inclined will
definitely understand what each section of the new HTML type stuff does
and what you get or don't when turning it on or off with those check
boxes, but us ordinary people, who just want to go, for example to the
amazon book store site, or a game to play, do not know what effect each
element has till we've played with it, and if we've turned off a bunch,
we don't know which ones we need to turn back on to make jaws read like
it use to in version xxx! This is my personal difficulty, and I am
assuming it is others as well. I am not familiar enough with windows
jaws, and didn't even use DOS long enough to actually know command line
interface either! I had my computer set up by a company who created
macros for me so that when I booted up in dos, all I had to do was type
an F an my spread sheet for vending report opened. They also set up my
games that way! I always had to ask someone how to copy a file cause I
never could remember which came first the to or from, and it was four
years after getting the computer that I even found out I could get
e-mail! I even had trouble with that! I liked windows when someone
explained that it was all Macros, but the dozen ways to do the same
thing is as confusing as was DOS to me! I am slowly learning, but I
don't have a lot of money to take expensive courses, so I depend on
lists like this to help me to understand the problems. Many times, I
can't figure out if I have a Jaws problem, a windows problem, or a
combination! Many times the moderator will point out that certain
topics have nothing to do with jaws, but is this really true? If I
cannot figure out how to navigate in windows Media player with Jaws, is
it me or jaws or windows that's stupid? I feel frustrated right now
with a problem that I know is windows, not jaws related but I don't know
how to fix it or what list I can ask the questions I need answered on!
It's truly difficult to separate it all sometimes!
