Rich, you didn't have to wait for something special to use that keystroke. It appears to work right now, for example, and comes in handy on most things that Jaws doesn't "read." ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Sherman To: JFW Discussion List Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2007 12:37 PM Subject: Re: virtual buffer Hi, I just found a dialogue box to test what you had stated and it worked. I used the keystrokes of insert + control + w to virtualize the current window. Then I just hit the esc key and all was back to normal. Thanks for all the help.

If it was the error message you wanted to dump, that's a whole nother story.
