Hi Don,
That isn't what I asked, exactly. But thanks anyway. I think I figured out
the answer to my question. What you wrote yesterday made it sound as if you
were saying that the only correct way to start Jaws at the point you were
referring to, having nothing to do with what's written here below, would be
to use a hotkey. Essentially, what I asked was only this: Wouldn't it be
also okay to use the Start Menu or a Desktop icon (or, as another lister, a
fan of the command line, offered, the Run dialogue) to launch Jaws at that
point? That was all I asked. But then I realized that all these methods will
point Windows to the same executable file that launches Jaws, so it must be
fine. So, no problem, and thanks again for responding to my question. I hope
you see what I was asking now.

Hi Yardbird,
In Rich's case, he has a valid version of JAWS 7, but he has installed
JAWS 8 and is running the newer version in demo mode. If a JAWS user has
checked the option to start JAWS automatically, then the newest version of
JAWS will start by default; in Rich's case, that means that JAWS 8 will be
the version that will start automatically. Then, at any time after that, he
can unload JAWS, which will unload JAWS 8, and then he can load JAWS 7 with
his hot key or from the Start Menu as described by Max.
In other words, you don't have to wait for the JAWS 8 demo to run out.
Hope this answers your question,
Don
