If there are special jaws commands to do these actions or special generalized keyboard commands to make the task easier, sure.In the case of email filters, that probably is not a jaws issue. But it is in our best interest to further the development of not alianate the community of blind people we serve. If you feel something is off topic, you may always kindly ask the poster to take this to private conversations. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wil James" <wil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, April 29, 2005 1:27 PM Subject: Re: What Is a JAWS Issue? If someone wants to know how to set up a filter for his/her e-mail program, then this would fit the list guidelines? If someone wanted instructions on how to burn a cd, this would fit the list guidelines? If someone wanted to know how to shoutcast with Winamp, this would fit the list guidelines? Maybe we all should see the rules again. There should be a mission statement regarding the list's intentions. Bruce brings up a good point. -----Original Message----- From: "G.W.

It is a therapy word. I once heard a therapist describe a patient as having an issue with his arm and another with his quadriceps, then "Oh, he has an issue with getting a ride here." It is useful to find out what versions of what particular application work with JAWS, especially since there no decipherable consistencies. Then there are questions about how to make a program work, menu items, hot keys, etc. What should be out of bounds are questions that have nothing to do with computers, but are blindness related. There was talk about "skins" this morning, and I haven't the slightest idea what that means. It's not a JAWS issue or problem, so should the kibosh be put on the string?

It might be a prudent move on the part of list management to again define what constitutes a JAWS issue. There are several schools of thought here. One is that if you're trying to use it with JAWS, it is a JAWS issue. This would mean that any software issue whatsoever is up for discussion. Then there are narrower views. List management should, in my view, define things relatively clearly and be consistent in enforcement of those definitions.
