I learned a good deal those first couple of days from my dealer who went through
basic things like creating directories, basic windows commands, that sort of
thing. He also setup a lot of helpfull stuff like the helpsystem for jaws
comming up on startup and of course, took care of a lot of the confusing things
like a soundcard conflict my computer had and installation of those first few
versions.Later stuff I gathered from some helpfull books in my MIS classes which
taught specific things like word and excell. You never throw away anything
related to help documentation, always write notes and remember where you keep it
all.

Subject: Re: Learning Jaws Survey
My first version of Jaws was 3.5 and there was no one around here
knowledgeable about it. I found that if I really concentrated, much could
be learned from the six-tape tutorial. Later I learned more about Windows
from other places and tutorials specifically for that. The tutorial tapes
were a good starting place, especially for someone like me, who new
absolutely nothing about computers. And the reason I chose Jaws back then
was partly because, when I was researching to know what to use, I called
both what is now Freedomscientific and the major competing screen reader
software company. That one told me they would be happy to send me a demo
disk and a lot of paper work. As a brand new computer user, I hadn't a
clue what to do with the disk and had no way to read the paper work at that
time. People at FS sent me a sample cassette, which was actually a part
of the tutorial, and some general info in braille. These were a big help in
making my decision. I have no regrets, even though I complain sometimes.
