HI Charles,
The problem with terminal emulaters is that they see the text being
displayed as one big text window. To use an application accessed this way,
requires a custom script. The script needs to recognize each screen of the
aplication's interface by using visual clues the app displays on the screen.
From there, each field and label on the screen can be accessed using an .INI
style file to store information about each field such as its label and
location on the screen.
Programing such a set of scripts is at least two weeks work for a competent
JAWS scriptor.
Sorry if I'm being sketchy on the details, but I don't have much time to
help you right now.
Please feel free to contact me off list if you need more assistance.
Regards,
James
