Thanks Alan. This will help people who have only one finger to access their 
computer. Checked Config Manager for Jaws 5 and 6: both have the same Insert 
Key Mode in User Options. I've selected it, and Insert + F5 or F7 works fine in 
IE. However, there's no way of simulating 3 key presses. It would have been a 
lot better to have an extra field for additional key presses in User Options. 
It would take only a few minutes of coding, and it will help thousands of 
persons.

  Adam,

  There are two parts to answering your question:
  1. In order to get your computer to hold down the control, Alt, or Shift 
  keys while you hit one or more other keys, you need to go into the control 
  panel and hit enter on "Accessibility options" where you will find the 
  Sticky Keys utility, which you will need to turn on.

  2. In order to get the JFW insert key on the numeric keypad to stay down 
  while you hit other combinations of keys, you need to go into the JFW 
  configuration settings and find a check box which says something about 
  holding down the insert key. I don't remember where this option is found, 
  but it's definitely in JFW. hope this helps.
  Regards,
  Alan

  Hi all,
  In previous Jaws versions, there was a way to simulate multiple key presses 
  using one single finger. Unfortunately, I have misplaced the exact steps. 
  I'm
  looking for similar steps in Jaws 6. Simply put, how can I simulate Insert + 
  F7 or Insert + Control + Home using just one finger in Win98, 2K or XP? Any
  help will be much appreciated.
  Thanks in advance,
  Adam
