Hi Joan Ann,
Excellent points and really good feedback.
I'm not impressed with WebIE either, and have made strong recommendations
that the product be mainstreamed to work with Internet explorer or other
such browsers.
I don't have an answer to your shortcut key question, but am forwarding your
mail to the UK developers to see what they say.
I'll be back to you when I hear from them.
Regards,
Stuart.

Hi all
I installed the thunder screen reader yesterday. I was very impressed with
the speech quality and how easy it was to navigate around the computer.
I wasn't overly impressed with the web application which I found a little
awkward but, this could be because I am so used to internet explorer with
jaws.
Just a few suggestions, for what they're worth:
If people are going to try thunder, they should make sure that thunder isn't
in start up folder as, if jaws is set to start with the computer, both
screen readers will start up together.
It is also a good idea to have a shortcut for jaws on the desktop/start menu
as you will need to unload jaws with insert and f4 when using thunder.
Stuart, I was wondering if there is a shortcut key to disable thunder?
Joan Ann.
