                  Thanks to all for the suggestions.
 So far the most efficient method strictly using
the hands -free method to access the application key, is using the command,"context menu" .. , also, using the shift key and the F10 key works, but is difficult with limitedd dexterity . regarding the other problem,mapping the "print screen" key seems to be the best way to go for a single finger operation. 
Is there a step by step relatively easy process on how to map a lap top key?
Will I need a fully cited person to assist, perhaps using my original Dell Computer manual.?
(Incidentally, my old Dell laptop did have the "pause" key, but not even the Dell technical support person could find a way to accurately substitute this key.) Sometimes I have used the command "press alt key, tab key" when the program goes out of focus and does not seem to respond correctly. 
Thanks in advance to all for your assistance
Ariane.









Ariane,


How about mapping the print screen key to the microphone on off key? If
the
microphone gets stuck, I usually turn it on or off using the icon in the
system tray.

Thank you Sue?  It worked!However I still have the problem with the pause
key being absent from this laptop.
I can speak "shiftf11"
which will shut the microphone off however then it's extremely hard to
find
the shift in the F11 key to turn it back on manually.
Has anyone tried to reprogram another handy key , for instance the "end"
key
and make it  the pause/break" key on a laptop that's lacking one ?

I use the pause key sometimes to wake up the program when it seems to lose
focus and won't accept any voice commands.  ---
any suggestions.  Would be appreciated, thank you so much.
Ariane

Try the command, Context menu, for the application menu.  .

Hello all,



  " Isn't there a command that can activate the application key on a
laptop, as it did in the old "JAWBONE" program?

I have been using an older version of JSay for several years after
switching from the precursor called "jawbone".

When I updated to JSay in 2008, it was installed for me on a new
Dell 17 inch laptop.  The problem is that, this laptop does not have the
equivalent of, an APPLICATION KEY

nor does it have a "pause /break key either".

I would like to add that if I use the command "right click" it does
not bring up the same menu as the actual working "application key".





This has forced me into a cumbersome arrangement attaching a full
keyboard next to my laptop which limits my mobility and traveling with the
laptop.

I must add that I am limited to using just one digit at a time, and
that is why JSay and jaws has been a lifesaver for me!

this has forced me to limp along with a cumbersome arrangement
using a full size keyboard attached which actually does have a an
activated
" application key" and a "pause /break key.
