Hi,
First I  have really  loved using the s keystroke with 4.5119.  You can skip
past 85%  of the  links you didn't  ever   need anyhow.     The s  keystroke
doesn't  lose focus  or get lost   as in JAWS 5.

You also avoid blank lines.
So  between the s for finding same  link and the  ability to read numbers
using JAWS 5.0884 (not 5),  reading has finally speeded up so  much.

If  one hasn't tried read whole numbers, I am posting instructions for
setting it up below.

And  if any one wants to really enjoy web surfing, try the s  on any
shoppings ite.
Find New Releases or DVDs and start with the first item and hit s.
If  you want pricing info, stop and read and  then  return to the  next item
and resume  hitting s s  s so rapidly down the page.
A super time saver!

Thanks to all.

  Using  5.0884,   go  into keyboard manager and hit control shift d and
tab.  Hit  "s"  a bunch  of times
  until you find
   ..say  next numeric  and  say previous numeric.
  If  you hear   the reading of  keystrokes there when doing  insert 8,
then the  say next is  ready to go.
  If  you hear "none",
  you next do a
  control  + a
  then then  actually  perform the keystrokes  you want to assign for  say
>  next numeric.
  In  other words,  you hit
  control  insert right arrow" right then
  for say next and
  control insert left arrow for previous but that is  later on.
  So  after  hitting control insert right arrow tab to  O k.
  Then  go  down to  say numeric previous
  and do control a
  and then hit control insert left arrow.
