Daniel,

    My problem with the Read Only Edit thing is that recent versions
of JAWS say it when it is not appropriate.

    One example of it happening here when I first installed 6.0 was in
Outlook Express when you do a Control-Shift-F for the Advanced Find.

    I was able to get rid of the "Read Only Edit," so I can't give you
the exact order here with my Win 98 se machine, but JAWS 6.0 was
saying Received After Read Only Edit when you hit Control-Shift-F and
in other places in the resulting message list.  I was not a happy
camper to discover that it's is doing it on my brand new XP machine.
I don't have access to the new machine at the moment, but I can check
the exact wording if you aren't experiencing it and are still curious.

    FS doesn't have an answer for the Received After bit which JAWS
seems to be picking up from where you can select a date range and it
has supposedly been passed along to their escalation team.  Someone
from FS did call me about it and he heard the "Received After" for
himself, but that was weeks ago and I haven't heard anything more
since then.  I have not downloaded 6.1 since I'm waiting for the
promised changes.

Rereading the message below, it finally occurred to me to ask the
obvious:
Doesn't anyone think these "read only edit" messages are helpful?  I
do.  It
certainly saves me the problem of bothering to try entering text in
such a
box, so that instead of wasting my time, I move on through the tab, or
menu,
or whatever, and find someplace where I *am* supposed to enter
something.
How come everyone's so annoyed with this message (apart from the
comment I
made about the wording being absurd, that is)?

thanks.

I tried this and it did not work.
My problem may not be with "tutor" messages.
     The first time I open a message in my e mail, I hear JAWS say
"read
only edit".
This usually occurs when there is a blank space somewhere. The second
time I
read the message, I do not hear JAWS say its thing.

Thanks for the input.

Rich
