Hi Dave,
It seems to me that what you need is one of the key tweak programmes which
permit you to select a key combination and re-map it to another. This
manipulates the Windows keyboard, nothing to do with JAWS and once configured
the alterations are loaded every time the computer is booted.
There is one I downloaded here called KeyTweak, I don't recall where it came
from but google it I am sure you will find it and probably many more.
Contact me off list if you can't find it or aren't sure and I can send you the
.ZIP I have here.
