Hi there,
You can find keystrokes to use with a laptop right in the Jaws help system.
Go to the Jaws help menu, arrow down until you hear keyboard commands, and
hit enter.
This will bring you to the keyboard command section of the Jaws help menu.
You are in like a tree view.  There is five items in this list.  Arrow down
to the third one which should say, Laptop keystrokes book closed.
If you right arrow, it will open the book, and there will be three items
listed under where you are.
Now arrow down and hit enter on the one you want to read about.  Hit F6 to
switch to the display panel to read about that topic.  To return back to the
treeview hit F6 again.  This will put you back to where you were in the
treeview.
If you want to read about another one of the three items arrow up or down to
select the one you want, hit enter on it, and then hit F6 to switch to the
display panel again to read about that topic.
And again, to switch back to the tree view, hit F6 again.
Hope this helps!
Chris Chaffin
