Gerald,
Honestly, I understand. About AVG (not ABG). I think it's annoying, too, to
not have Jaws 9 in its latest version and have to deal with that. But I
wrote out the entire instruction for Teddy Bear, and even that solution is
not such a horrible hassle. I constantly find myself exiting jaws and
relaunching it, simply because it has little breakdowns from time to time
and stops working correctly. So I can imagine doing that, exiting Jaws,
launching AVG, then starting Jaws again, once a week to do my scan. But
others may feel differently. As I said, whatever. If it were something like
Word, which I use all day, and I had to bother with such a ploy, I'd
probably be looking for another word processor. But it's not that sort of
thing.

Sorry if I came across as argumentative. But nnot all of us have the latest
version of JAWS, so compatibility with ABG is an issue of some concern. I
just don't want to download ABG 8.0 only to discover that it doesn't work
well with JAWS 8.0. .
