Hi Jen,
possible solutions:
1. press jaws key + 1 to turn on keyboard help. then press each key to see if
one of them is the home key.
2. sometimes if there isn't a home key, then you can press fn + left arrow.
3. If you let me know the model of the laptop, I may be able to look it up.
David.

Gene, I'm following the instructions on your great presentation, but
having some trouble. Would you or anyone on the list know how to get
to the home key on a Dell laptop using JAWS? If I knew that, I'd
probably be able to do exactly what you've set out here in Audacity.
Thanks.
Jen
