Hi Jerry,
To keep JAWS from grabbing the graphical stuff you don't want it to get, you
could try setting the JCF file for the application to make JAWS only read
labeled graphics. You can do that by opening up the configuration manager and
then hitting Alt+S, followed by the letter G. In that dialog there's a set of
radio buttons that controls how JAWS deals with graphics.
Thanks.
Jim

Subject: [jawsscripts] Counter Point program
I'm writting scripts for a point of sale program called Counter Point which
is written in Cobol. Most of the movement in the program is done with the
enter key except when they go to close out a ticket. Then the down arrow is
used. If I try to capture the down arrow key with the script then they can't
use the JAWS cursor to move around the screen. I'm trying to figure out what
other events I might be able to use to get it to read the information. I've
tried to use a frame to speak when the text changes but it reads a lot of
information that doesn't show up on the screen.
Another problem with the program is that when it's writting to the screen
JAWS reads everything on the line including graphics that are written to the
screen and when I try to use the GetChunk function it gets the whole line
with all the graphics.
Any suggestions on an event to use when the down arrow is pushed?
