  Don't you just love April Fool's Day?  I can't believe you guys actually fell 
for this one.  Do you really think FS would have added a command for solving 
captias without a lot of hoopla and a version upgrade?  Maybe they'll actually 
add this feature to JAWS 15 in a few years when they run out of other ideas for 
charging for SMA's.

    Gerald,

    I shut off my IEMax scripts to try this out.

    IE7
    JAWS 11

    That keystroke does not work. Neither Insert key, and neither Windows key 
in combination with the letter "C" does it.

    I then checked the keyboard manager for the internet explorer scripts and 
there is nothing there that matches that keystroke.

    What you get is great, but I can't share in the benefit.

    Dave

      Well, just by accident this morning, I discovered that pressing 
Insert-Windows key-C invokes a hidden JAWS command for solving captias.  I 
happend to be on a web page in IE that contained a captia image, and when I hit 
this keystroke, JAWS announced to my surprise, "Captia Result Saved On 
Clipboard."  Sort of like Webvisum.
