Hi Jim,
yes, Francis reminded me of that, which is why I corrected myself. I'd
simply forgotten what those screen elements contained. Using Jaws, I never
encounter those controls on the status line, which sound as if they're
something akin to the tool bar at the top of the same program's screen,
albeit for different functions. I confess I've never tried exploring the
bottom of the OE screen with the Jaws cursor, but all I ever look for down
there is the information that is spoken when I press the speak last line
command, insert num pad 3. So it's all a little abstract, and not too vital
for me that there are little control buttons down there, too. But I'm happy
to call things by their proper names. So it's all good, as they say.

Hi,
Well some programs infact use a status bar. Or make a control for it
like goldwave. Other do not. Some paint status information in static
text boxes at the bottom of the screen. Or some time above it. An
example of this is the windows xp cd writing wizard. Hints the read
status line. If this command only looked for a status bar half the
status information that is read with this command now would not be read.

A knowledgeable friend just corrected my misimpression about this. it's
been too long since I read the documentation referring to these screen
elements, or seen them, and I'd forgotten that this area at the bottom
of a
Word or OE screen is more than a line of informative words and numbers.
My
friend reminds me that, similar to the Task Bar on the Desktop, they,
too,
contain control buttons that a mouse user could click on to do certain
tasks
in the program. So I take back what I said. I've heard these referred
to
as "lines" many times by experienced computer users, blind and sighted
alike, and assumed that this is what they were called.
Sorry about that.
