You're right, Sue.  And the thing I don't like about it on BARD is that you 
press Alt-N, put in the filename for your book, and press enter, and it says 
"You've exceeded your simultaneous downloads."  For some reason, they make it 
hard to get back from that!  It seems to me the problem with Bookshare not 
bringing it up on the first try might be related to Bookshare's slow response 
in general.  The book has to be up and ready for download before Alt-N becomes 
effective, I think.  I'm not sure of that.

  Yes, that alt n works really well, but for Bookshare I have to do it twice 
before it works.  On Web Braille  it only takes once.

  Hi Marty,

  The quickest and most thorough solution I found was to upgrade to JAWS 12 
(they're up to 13 now, so it might work with IE 9.0 even better).  It's very 
disconcerting not to have the links, etc. that have always been there--and they 
still are ... you've just lost your ability to access them.  If you must stay 
with JAWS 11.0, using IE 8 is better.  And that goes for sites other than 
Bookshare, too.

  Another thing no one told me about that changes with IE 9 is the Alt-N that 
allows you to respond in downloading, etc.  That took a bit of getting used to!

        Hi Folks,
       I have downloaded IE 9.  (Big Mistake!)  Now, on the check-in page, 
there is no edit fields at all except on the comment area.  There is no browse 
button at all.  What can I do?  I have JAWS 11.  Can someone please help?  
Thanks!
