So that means that simply having Jaws load during startup does *not* make it 
run as a service, under this definition?  That's what I've tried to get 
clarified, earlier.  When you have Jaws run "automatically," meaning to load 
at startup, it still provides an interface to the user.  You can call up the 
Jaws menu, in other words.  Whereas, if you load something as a service, as 
I understand from the below and earlier explanations, there *is* no 
interface and you aren't meant to access it or use its menus or anything. 
It just runs without being able to be adjusted by the user.

Is this correct?  If so, then this means that simply having Jaws load 
automatically/during startup does *not* make it a service.  Will someone 
authoritative on this topic please respond definitively?  Thank you very 
much.  There have been contradictory statements about this, and no 
resolution or even acknowledgement that one definition is contradicting the 
other.

Again, thank you.
Daniel
