Interesting.  I myself know little about the application other than I
was told to avoid jobs wherein it would be necessary for reasons of
accessibility.  I recently read that Window Eyes works rather well
with it and was hoping to hear that Jaws did too since I would hate to
turn down another opportunity and I'd just as soon stay with Jaws
since I've been using it for years.
