George,
Thanks for posting these instructions. Although I'm accustomed to copying 
script files selectively from one version of Jaws to another, there were a 
few caveats about not copying the FS-written script files for major Windows 
programs like OE and Word. I didn't realize that's what those files were; I 
sort of foggily thought they might be the result of deliberate changes I'd 
made, myself, at some point, and forgotten. Now I'll have to check the dates 
on those files, compare them between versions, and hope the ones in Jaws 8 
don't bear the same dates as the ones in Jaws 7, which would mean I must 
have copied them the other day, and shouldn't have.

 Oddly, I do remember copying an Open Book -related file or two over from 7 
to 8 the other day, when I wondered why Open Book had fallen silent even 
though I'd tweaked it to use Jaws as its voice and its reading and 
navigation keyset. So maybe FS doesn't have any of its own Open Book script 
files, and those were ones I'd unknowingly created when I turned off sleep 
mode in Jaws and set Open Book for No Speech? You know what I mean? I'm 
speculating completely out of ignorance, here, please understand.peaking

Anyway, here's my real question. You say:

Note: it may be helpful to you as you proceed if you have Windows Explorer
configured to announce the full path whenever you change from one folder to
another as you'll be doing below. This is set by way of Control Panel>Folder
Options and is found under the View tab. The specific items are Display the
Full Path in the Address Bar and Display the Full Path in the Title Bar.
Both of these should be checked or indicated as "on."

--George, when I read that, I Alt Tabbed into Windows Explorer and hit 
Insert T to see if that would read the address bar, so I could see if it was 
showing the path to the file where I was at the moment. But Insert T only 
read me the title of the folder I was in. Now, I've never made use of the 
Explorer Bar, don't even know what it is, but figured it must be the 
equivalent of the IE Address Bar, maybe? So I pressed Alt D to get into it 
and see the path. No luck. Alt D didn't do anything.

So I figured, whoops, I guess I'd better go the View menu either here in WE 
or in Control Panel, as George suggests, to see if the Explorer Bar is set 
to show. I chose to follow your instructions, and went into Control Panel.

Well, when I opened the View menu and explored its items, there simply 
wasn't thI'll try to copy the View menu here; I just virtualized the screen 
to do that, and I'll see if it worked. Yep, here's the View menu from 
Control Panel. What should I do, now?

Thanks.
