sure. Thank you for the hint.
I meant when the cursor is at the bottom of the command box, when for example
I arrow up to reuse my previous commands, they do appear there. But editing
them as Jaws is announcing the corresponding column of the above line is not
easy at all.
To experience this, in the windows command box, keep the enter key pressed
until you get sure that the cursor is at the bottom. now type a letter. and
then hit backspace. Does Jaws announce the same letter you just typed? This is
what I want to hear some feedback about, with also a notion of the windows and
the Jaws versions.
cheers!

FYI Hamid
- I redirect output to a text file when I get several lines of output to
review for example, in stead of something like:
Dir
I enter this:
Dir > c:\MyFolder\Dir.txt
Then I can go into the dir.txt text file and read it with notepad.
Hope that helps,
Rod

Subject: A delicate issue with the windows command prompt
Hi folks,
I have run into an issue in command prompt which bothers me while using the
tools that are accessible via the windows command line, such as the CMD itself,
python interactive interpreter and so on. when the command box fills up with
the stuff and it starts scrolling down for the new lines to be appeared, I
noticed that the backspace, when pressed, Jaws reads the character to the left
of the cursor's above line (instead of the cursor's current line), though the
backspace is doing what is expected to do. For the command line, the CLS
command clears the screen and it is a decent quick fix. However for python and
also the other tools I am not so sure of such a command/fix. Now I want to find
out if this issue is present in any other variants of this combination: XP SP3
and Jaws 10. Besides, I appreciate any suggestions or comments on how to
resolve this issue.
Many thanks,
Hamid
