John, wow! This keystroke is awesome. I've been using Jaws for eight years, and 
I think I know one or two things about Jaws but this is the first time I hear 
about this keystroke! I've always used Insert Pageup. Thank you for this.

Cheers,
Amro

  Hi Tom. Am not 100% sure what you're asking. But I think you mean: 
  "When positioned on a file in the file list in Explorer, how can you read the 
individual columns of information"?

  If using Windows XP, you can press Ctrl+JAWS together with any of the numbers 
1 to 0 to hear information for columns 1 to 10. This only works in the type of 
control called a listview. It doesn't work in Explorer in Windows 7, where for 
some reason, Microsoft no longer use a listview to display the list of files.

  JAWS also has a feature for customising listviews. Full details can be found 
in Help.

  In addition, Windows itself allows you to choose which collumns are shown for 
a given listview. From memory, you get to this dialog by selecting Choose 
Columns on the View menu.

  Cheers.

  John
