One peripherally useful thing I have gotten from this discussion is that
some laptops allow you to blank the display with a keystroke, and some do
not.  My dependable little ancient Ibm Thinkpad 600x does.  It would be
useful for purchasers to know Which other ones do.  While this does not
relate to how to use JAWS on a laptop, the question of which laptop works
well with Jaws always comes up, and for many of us Jaws users, the ability
to blank a screen and thereby enhance battery life is a useful selling
point.  Also, the fn keystroke used to accomplish this task will differ
from brand to brand.  For Toshiba, I believe it is fn+f5, for my Ibm it is
fn+f7.
