Hi there,
Just a note.  I installed Jaws 6.0, and did a merge with my 5.1 settings. 
It ran a little sluggish and paused slightly sometimes between functions.  I 
chose to run a Jaws repair using the installation maintance.  I then changed 
all of the settings manually instead of merging with an earlier version of 
Jaws.  I must say that Jaws is now running like a charm after the repair. 
No sluggish or pauses.
I know some people merge with earlier versions of Jaws without a problem, 
but in 5.1 and now 6.0, I have had to run a repair after trying to merge 
settings.  I won't give up on the merge feature, but it has not been working 
for me lately!
I am running Windows XP home SP2 with Jaws 5.1 and now Jaws 6.0.
