Steve, 1 of the things which can be helpful is to use the Jaws HomeRow
utility to determine the relationship of the current window to the
graphic u wish to find. So--start the homerow utility, route it to
current (f5) then u might wanna do some exploring w/tab & shift tab,
as well as f2 & shift f2, to see where the graphics are in relaition
to the current window. The more u can *narrow* your search, the better
your chances of success. I know that seems a bit counterintuitive, but
it's like locating a paper on a desk as opposed to a whole room.
