Hi Ann, Yes you read with the jaws cursor and enter on the commandline. I don't know about running jaws for dos in a command window on XP, I did run it when I had windows 95 and it worked well then. Unless someone has a reason not to try it, it might be worth a go.

My student is working with some DOS programs and windows XP. Will JAWS11 be enough DOS? Would it help for him to load the old JAWS for DOS? When I have used DOS from windows, as I recall you read with the JAWS cursor, then enter on the command line? Yes??? No???
