Greetings, I am reposting as advised I made an error, I *do* know the correct keystroke and have been using it. I have GoldWave v5.25 which, I believe, is still the latest version, I have WindowsXP Home with latest updates, I have Jaws v9.0 with, so far as I know latest update and I have v.10.0 Public Beta2 ready to try. I also have, so far as I am aware, the latest scripts compiled and installed for GoldWAve, these were written for v5.22 but I was advised work equally well with v5.25 so no rewrite was felt to be necessary. I am using the program on a new Compak laptop and an older Evesham laptop and the behaviour is the same on both machines. Why, then, with all this, when I pause the file using the space bar, I then try and read elapsed time by shift with alt and e, do I get an elapsed time of 0.0 yet if I pause the file using the f7 key, I get a correct reading? In both cases, a second press of the appropriate key resumes the file as I would expect and issuing the alt shift e reads the correct time as the file continues to play. Is this a scripting, or goldwave issue? I am basically just intrigued, as though inconvenient, it does not really cause me undue problems. From Colin Howard near Southampton in Southern England.
