Hello Tony,
here is a piece I copied from the jaws help manual concerning the jaws and pc cursors. 
I hope this is what you are looking for.

About JAWS Cursors



About JAWS Cursors
Navigating through Windows with JAWS is accomplished with cursors. These cursors determine the focus of JAWS speech and are often directly linked with Windows 

cursors.



The PC Cursor - Follows Keystrokes
This cursor is linked to the keyboard functions of Windows and applications. This is the cursor that is used when typing information, moving through options
in dialog boxes, and selecting options or icons. As you type information, the PC Cursor follows along with each key you press. If you are making a selection
in a menu or dialog box, the PC Cursor highlights the currently selected object. The PC Cursor is activated by default when JAWS starts. If you are using 

a different cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS returns you to the PC Cursor.



The JAWS Cursor - Follows Mouse Pointer
The JAWS Cursor is linked to mouse pointer functions in Windows and other applications. It is used to read information the PC Cursor cannot read, such as
toolbar information. The mouse follows along with the JAWS Cursor when it is moved, and you therefore have access to information in an application window
that is beyond the scope of the PC Cursor. To activate the JAWS Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS. 



The Virtual PC Cursor - HTML Environment
The virtual PC Cursor mimics the functions of the PC Cursor, but is activated by default when entering an HTML document. The virtual PC Cursor speaks the
number of frames in a document, and the number of links in the frame. You can switch between frames, and JAWS reads graphics labeled by alt tags in the 

HTML code.

Hi Paul,

Welcome back!

No, not getting at you!

Now trust I haven't missed this, but I wonder if you would so kindly at

your

leisure do a mini-tutorial on the effective use of the mouse cursor and

it's

benefits!

Also I wonder about the "PC to to Jaws, & Jaws to PC?

which is  of course too a great benefit!

Happy nuptials to you & your good wife!

All the best,

Tony.
