We can't spend all our time trying to rewrite prompts. Turning off JAWS 
suggests that it's still loaded in memory. Unloading JAWS is the most 
concise yet accurate description of what the function does, it's an 
acceptable computer term, and FS can't be responsible for everyone who 
isn't familiar with all the terminology.
