I don't think it's possible anymore, because using a DOS screenreader in
a DOS window is no longer an available option.  Also, don't expect too
much from today's DOS sessions.  You can execute commands, but trying to
load and run antique programs will probably be a bust; it was for me.

Hi Ann,  Yes you read with the jaws cursor and enter on the commandline.
I don't know about running jaws for dos in a command window on XP,  I
did run it when I had windows 95 and it worked well then.  Unless
someone has a reason not to try it, it might be worth a go.

Remember JAWS for DOS?  My student is working with some DOS programs 
and windows XP.  Will JAWS11 be enough DOS?  Would it help for him to 
load the old JAWS for DOS?

When I have used DOS from windows, as I recall you read with the JAWS 
cursor, then enter on the command line?  Yes???  No???

Thanks,

Ann
