MessageJAWS+F2 will allow you to select the Configuration Manager.

Once there you press Alt+s, then A for advanced. Then the first checkbox is for 
Sleep mode.

Then press OK, then Alt+F, s to save, and then Alt+f4 to close the 
configuration manager.

Then JAWS will be asleep whenever you launch that application.

Other than that, the only other way to suspend JAWS is to press JAWS+Ctrl+s and 
select "no speech" from the list of synthesizers.

  Should these instructions work when in S A Mobile network, also?  I'd like to 
put JAWS asleep when S A Mobile starts.  But, when I'm on the S A Mobile 
desktop, nothing happens when I press the JAWS key and f2; probably because I'm 
in another screen reader.  Any thoughts?

    yes this is easy.
    open the game
    JAWSKey+f2 
    choose configuration manager.
    this will make a jcf file for the game if there is not one already
    choose advanced from the set options menu.
    Check the sleep mode check box
    press enter to activate the ok button
    Close the configuration manager and say yes when it asks if you want to 
save the changes.
    from then on when the game is running JAWS will be silent. when you exit 
the game or alt+tab away from it JAWS will work normally.
