Hi Derek
This is very easy. If you reach a form control, you will be in auto forms mode
and you will either hear a sound play or the announcement "forms mode on". If
you want to bypass that control and move elsewhere on the page, simply down
arrow and forms mode will automatically be deactivated.
Any other questions please let me know.

If that's how it will work I can see a problem here!
What if you were arrowing down, starting from before the edit field, and you
want To go past, edit, i.e go further down the screen. If you are
automatically placed in to forms, (just because you have arrived here by
the use of arrow key) you are now going to need to come right out, to carry
on down the screen.
Now as I now the programmers of Jaws not stupid, I have clearly missed
something here.
