Can confirm it is here.  Running Jaws 10.
Have had no opportunity to test out an application, though

Subject: [jawsscripts] Accessing Silverlight apps with JAWS

I have had no luck accessing Silverlight applets with JAWS in IE7.  Have
others?  An article on the web said that the section below needs to be added
to an ini file called fsdomsrv.ini.  I could not find such a file in either
the JAWS program or data directories, so I created one and put it in the
program directory and the All Users directory.  Still no luck.

I have tried numerous Silverlight samples, including ones based on managed
JScript, IronPython, and IronRuby.  This is Microsoft's primary approach to
"rich Internet applications,"
and it claims that there is a bridge that translates the User Automation API
to MSAA, so that even assistive technologies that do not yet support UIA
will work if they support MSAA.

 I find it surprising and disturbing how inaccessible this platform seems to
be.  If anyone has any tips that I might have missed, please let us know.
