Mark,

I'm not the one to ask. I'm just trying to learn what this is about. Sorry. 
But if this convenient key command will perform exactly the same task and 
allow you to remove Jaws properly, that would be interesting to know. Hope 
someone comments on this. Meantime, I'll make a note of the key combo just 
in case it turns out to be good for the job.

Well, instead of running a batch file, why not just use the dump command?
all it is is JAWS key Windows f4.
