Hi everyone,

I'm trying the demos both of JAWS and Window Eyes.

Much to my surprise, JAWS at the moment seems to work more the way I do than 
Window Eyes does, but with both programs there are similar problems to a 
complete novice like me.

Firstly, neither of them let me log in anywhere. I get to the text box to put 
in my login name, and both programs seem to take all my keystrokes as commands, 
or tell me they're invalid keystrokes.

Secondly I'm not sure how to get either of them to read a whole page or 
document, some of which may be off screen. They have both dumped me at the end 
of a lne or at the end of a screen.

I'm sure there's a simple answer to these things, but in a demo lasting only 
minutes, it's a bit difficult to sort it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And hope you're having a good Easter!

Vince.
