These comments below are interesting, and thanks for the information, Dave.
However, to address the basic issue, which is someone mistaking something
for a Jaws malfunction or, at the least, severe inconvenience, that's just a
lack of awareness of the program's design in this regard.
Again, if you're reading a document with Jaws and wish to move down a page,
hit the control key to stop the reading, press page down, then resume
reading. If you want to speed up reading on the fly, press page down while
reading is in progress, or, to slow down, page up. This is not a
malfunction of Jaws that requires a workaround or remapping keys.
and to increase or decrease reading speed when the reading is stopped,
Control Alt Page Up or Control Alt Page Down.
If, knowing how to work this,you still feel the need to customize Jaws and
change or remove these keyboard commands, the below advice is how to do it.

When you install JFW, the installation program copies two files to
your system called "keystrokes.doc" and "keystrokes.txt".
If you are using JFW up to and including 5.10, the path to these two
files is as follows:
C:\JAWSxx\MANUALS\enu
If you are using JFW 5.10 IOM, 6.0 or later, the path to these two
files is as follows:
C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\xx\MANUALS\enu
Replace the "xx" in the above path examples with the version number of
JFW you are using.
You can also use the Help system by pressing <INSERT+J> from within
any program or from anywhere within Windows, press <h> to open the
help menu, Press <K> to open "Keystrokes", select one of the five
books, press <RIGHT ARROW> or <ENTER> to open the book, Select one of
the ten topics in the list, press <f6> to open the topic and follow
the links on this or any subsequent pages to find the information you
are looking for.
