Hi,
thank you for your help. The solution for my laptop:
external keyboard and Jaws in desktop mode. But the most important is that I 
must turn the keyboard in american layout with alt-shift.

  To set your keyboard to USA English, press Alt-Shift.
      Beware that, if you plan to use a USB-type numpad with your laptop, many 
of them don't work.  One which I have used successfully with Sonar and Sibelius 
is the Micropad 631 from XKeys.  One company that sells it is InfoGrip.  You 
can reach them at 800-397-0921.  It should just plug and play.  Be sure to set 
your laptop to desktop keyboard setting in Jaws, by going to the Basics menu, 
typing alt-L to get to Keyboard Layout, and selecting Desktop from the list.

    Yes, you will need a full-size PC keyboard or an add-on numpad that works.  
Set JAWS to Desktop under "Basics".  And, if I'm not mistaken, you'll need to 
tell Windows that you're using the keyboard lay-out for the USA.  I cannot 
remember how to accomplish that however.  I think a few other people on the 
list will help you with those specifics.

    hi all,
    three months ago I asked about this problem, but I didn't find a solution. 
It's with my laptop. I have sonar4 and jaws 5.1 in english. My card is 
"mobility10". I tried "classic laptop" and "laptop" and the resolution is 16b.
    When I open Sonar, I can jump from a track to the other and some functions 
like ctrl!t or ctrl!I are ok. But it's impossible to select a track. Jaws says 
only: "alt enter". It's the same with many short cuts. 
    Next week I must record outside and it would be good if somebody could help 
me.
    Thank you
    Jean-Paul
