Hi Gerald,
To your amusement (or so I hope) you'll see by my message to Ray that I
eventually figured this out, thank God. Now James can stop worrying that the
thread will go on forever.

In its infinite wisdom, FS decided to make FS Reader a function within the
JAWS Help menu rather than a stand-alone function. This actually makes some
sense, because all of the Daisy books offered by FS are tutorials or
help-related topics. If you want to read Daisy books outside of the JAWS
Help menu, you need a gadget like the Victor Reader Stream onto which you
can download Daisy books. Otherwise, you can visit the FS training
materials download page and download most of the available Daisy books as
MP3 files and save them wwherever you choose on your computer, and play them
using your media player of choice.
