Thanks, Brian. I had not checked that directory tree, and then did
find the ini file. Unfortunately though, after adding the recommended
section and restarting JAWS 10, my results were no better with a few
different Silverlight samples. I have confirmed that the Silverlight
plug-in is properly installed.
For anyone interested, the article I mentioned is
Accessibility Support Documentation for Silverlight
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/implementation-report/Silverlight_accessibility_support_statement
By the way, I have found the Adobe AIR platform to be even worse. It
seems completely inaccessible at present.
