Hello Cy.
I think I understand what you want to do, but doing it is a little tricky.
Firstly, if you are talking about a webpage or word document then all bets are
off because the virtual screen is entirely different from what your wife sees.
So, we'll assume it isn't in the virtual buffer.
Here is what jaws help says about the jaws cursor:
"The JAWS Cursor is linked to mouse pointer functions in Windows and other
applications. It is used to read information the PC Cursor cannot read, such as
toolbar information. The mouse follows along with the JAWS Cursor when it is
moved, and you therefore have access to information in an application window
that is beyond the scope of the PC Cursor. To activate the JAWS Cursor, press
NUM PAD MINUS." So I would think if you wanted to show your wife what you are
hearing why not turn on the jaws cursor with numpad minus and then route pc to
jaws with jawskey+plus.
Is this what you are looking for?
Bob

Okay, I have forgotten how to get JAWS to track to the mouse or vice versa.
When my wife is reading the screen and she wants to know where on Earth I am
reading from it would be nice to track the mouse to the cursor.
JAWS 11, W7 64 bit, MS Outlook 2007.
