Yep.  Couldn't resist.  Just tried it again and down it went.  Timberrrrrrr ...

I opened myself a blank notepad file and typed it in.  I then hit ctrl
left arrow to read what I just wrote and ... well, he was a brave lad,
Jaws.  First, got the application file for jaws dialog wieht the send
and don't send buttons and then jaws experienced a runtime error.

Then, we had a moment of silence.  I imagined the playing of taps as I
brought up nvda.  It's what I'm using now.  Will have to restart Jaws
to get it going again.  Both 10 and 11 down and out for the count till
then.

Happy crashing.  Never thought I'd say this but, hope it works for you.
