Cheers Phil for that, it's not such a crucial thing, just one of those text adventure type things. I'll take a tentative look, Robin -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Phil Medway Sent: 03 August 2005 15:26 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Hyperterminal v Telnet. Hi Robin, I think that you'll have to change the default program for the .HT extension in the file types tab of the files and folders in control panel. Find the file types tab then type h to get to the types beginning with that letter then cursor down until you find the ht extension. now tab until you find the change button and activate it. You are given the opportunity to change the program which is to run and a browse button to help you find it. My telnet.exe is in c:\windows\system32 Incidentally, you do realise that telnet is not a secure utility so that your password, for example, may be seen over the internet. You might wish to consider a more secure equivalent such as putty. If you need further information, feel free to contact me off list. HTH, Phil Medway. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robin Clayden" <r.clayden@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 12:14 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Hyperterminal v Telnet. Hi, Sorry it's a bit off topic, but can anyone tell me how to make telnet the default in XP as opposed to Hyperterminal? And, is there any tips or sections in the Jaws help system relating to using jfw with these features? I've had a run through the help in this6.2 but can't find it, I'm sure I've seen it somewhere.
