Gary and Tom,
I suspect that hitting the tab key resets the shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+Tab.
That's why a single character (or a shifted character) will work. Then if
you want to verify, route JAWS to cursor and look at the result -- or just
hit the enter key to save the result.

Tom,
Since Alt and Control are automatically added, just type n into the
shortcut
field and press Enter. For Some reason, pressing Tab to get to the OK
button can destroy the shortcut.

That solved the problem, so thanks very much.
Now, I have another issue to solve:
Since I can now use notepad, I want to make a shortcut for it. However,
whenever I go to my start menu, find notepad, hit my applications key, go
to
properties, and try to enter alt control n as my shortcut, Jaws doesn't
let
me do it. It says alt control +, and won't let me put the N in there to
complete the key combination.
I know there are no other alt control N shortcuts on this computer, so
I'm
baffled as to why Jaws won't let me do the shortcut.
I have had this problem with other applications, and sometimes need
sighted
assistance to correct the problem.
Any suggestions about how to resolve this issue would be appreciated,
and
then, I should be all set for a while.
Just for info, I'm using Windows XP here with Jaws 10.0.
Thanks!

Hi Tom.
This might be as simple as not having word wrap turned on in Notepad.
In notepad, press alt+o to get into the format menu, and the first
thing you should hear is "word wrap". If Jaws doesn't say
"checked", hit enter to check it and turn word wrap on.
