Well, thanks. I can see in my blurry way that the program interface is on
the screen, but I can't see clearly enough with my central vision (the part
of the retina we use for reading, seeing faces, etc., none of which I can
do) to see that the shark logo is decorating it. So when Judith referred
only to the logo, and didn't just say that the Main Jaws interface window
was what she meant, I didn't know what to think.

the JAWS logo is a shark. it appears in the main window when the window is
actually on the screen, instead of the system tray.
