When I was running Homer, it added a series of hot keys that made navigating
various applications more easier.  They were useful in most cases, but the
few times when they were not useful was enough to annoy me.  I uninstalled
it not because it's a bad set of scripts by any means but because I was too
ignorant to figure out how to turn off those functions I did not want to
override the native keystrokes.  Adding a semicolon in front of the unwanted
functions never worked for me for some reason.

Can anyone explaine to me just what I would use Homer for 
exactly? When I
installed it the only thing that happened was changed the way 
things worked
on my computer then I had to uninstall Jaws then reinstall jaws 
to undo what
it did. What would you use Homer for? thanks

All,
Please also note that much of these questions are answered in the 
documentation distributed with HomerKit, which comes up automatically 
upon installation, or can be found in both text and HTML formats within 
the JAWS script folder.  It can also separately be accessed by 
downloading the zip version of HomerKit,
http://EmpowermentZone.com/kitsetup.zip

any scripts
and other stuff that start with a whole host of things I can't

include homer, edit, notepad, wordpad, msaa, and so on. If I 
were you, I'd
back up that directory before getting rid of anything. Then, 
I'd get rid of
everything, and bring back anything that I know should be there, like
default.jcf, default.jdf, keycodes.ini, and any other custom scripts you
have that are not Homer. There's no way for me to tell what you 
already have
on your machine. If worse comes to worse, you can always do a 
repair on your
JAWS and start again and change JAWS by handd back to the way 
you like to
run it, then add the EdSharp installation.
