I am not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish or  what behaviour you 
are trying to work around.

I can tell you that in the jkm file the line uparrow=uparrow is:
The first uparrow is the keystroke and the second uparrow is the name of the 
jaws script.
If you comment out that line by putting a ; in front of the line and save the 
file jaws will not intercept the uparrow keystroke.
I believe if you do this in the default jkm you would need to restart jaws in 
order to pick up the changes.  I however would strongly recommend that you 
don't do this in the default but create a jkm file for the application where 
you wish this behaviour and make the change.

Hello again,
I tried
Synopsis Key passthrough script
in the .jsd file.  I also tried
Synopsis Key passthrough script.
and no luck.  Any more ideas?
I even tried calling freedom scientific and first the guy advises me to turn 
off JAWS until I explained again that the developer is trying to add support 
while using JAWS.  He then suggests that I put JAWS to sleep and then he 
interrupts himself realizing what he's saying.  He then suggests that I look at 
the freedom scientific development network, (FSDN) and look up the TypeKey  
function.  I did that but still didn't do much for me.
Anymore ideas?
Zhi Huang
