  Enter forms mode with the enter key in the usual way, exit with 
JAWS+semicolon.

      In these cases you need to be willing to go in and out of forms mode.  
Actually, I never rely on what JAWS reads as I go through a form in forms mode. 
 Sometimes the wrong message is read for the current entry field.  You leave 
forms mode by pressing the numpad plus button and return by pressing enter on 
the field where you're about to enter data.

        hello list.

        some forms i have come across are easier to fill out than others.

        a lot of forms will tell you what part you are filling out, i.e the 
first edit box might be your name and the second your e mail address.

        on the other hand some forms are a pain.

        i recently came across one that i couldn't fill out because i didn't 
know what edit box i was on.

        even a say line jaws keystroke didn't tell me what edit box i was on it 
just said edit.

        my question is this.

        is there a keystroke that i can perform to get jaws to tell me what 
edit box i am on or is there any other way i can find out?

        also while in forms mode how do i get out of it?

        all help appreciated.

        stephen
