I was not troubled, sir. I was sincerely interested. Please desist from
your sarcasm. It is not in the spirit of helpful camaraderie that
ordinarily characterizes this mailing list. I don't at all appreciate being
mocked for my sincere curiosity any more than I suppose most other people
would.
Thank you very much,
Daniel

Let me try to spell this out to you, and you'll see what I mean.
JAWS has a find command, it's control+insert+f. This command is used
throughout JAWS. The Internet Explorer command to do a find is control-F.
This is application-specific. What FS did, then, was to make the two
commands interchangeable, so that whichever you were used to using, you
still could. I hope you are now better able to sleep nights, as this was
clearly troubling you.
