An example would be the question which got this whole discussion started
in the first place. An error pops up on your screen, but the nature of the
dialog box doesn't allow you to copy its contents to the clipboard. So you
hit JAWS key+control+w, which stuff the contents of the dialog box into
the virtual buffer, hit control+a to select the whole buffer, control+c to
copy to clipboard, then you can paste it into your e-mail message.

Bruce, I wasn't really after a deep explanation of this trick. I'd be grateful just for an example of a situation where you'd need it. For instance, you get some sort of message display or dialogue box on screen while Web surfing, but it's not within the focus of Jaws in the normal sense, because you can only read the actual Web page beneath it but not touch the dialogue or message, even with the Jaws cursor? In such a case, is thais a way to manage to read whatever's in that box?

The key combination places the contents of the current window into the virtual buffer, which then allows you to move around through the text using your standard arrow keys and to select and copy the text. Offhand I don't know where info would be found in the help file, though I'm confident it's well-documented there. Try looking under virtual buffer.
