If the virtual cursor is off and you press an arrow do you move to a new
chapter?
If so, try the following to move to the next chapter:
if GetJCFOption (OPT_VIRTUAL_PC_CURSOR)==1 then
SetJCFOption (OPT_VIRTUAL_PC_CURSOR, 0)
{right arrow}
SetJCFOption (OPT_VIRTUAL_PC_CURSOR, 1)
endIf

In JAWS you use the arrow keys to read the text. The text area is in
html so
JAWS virtualizes the window. so if I want to go to the next chapter and
hit
the right arrow it will just go to the next character and not to the
next
chapter. so I need to create new keystrokeswith their keystrokes in the
script.
