Margarena, In order to help you, I need to know what program you are using to access the mainframe from you PC. Some of them can be made to work reasonably well with JAWS, but some of them can't. Best regards.

I have to access the main frame a lot, and JFW is not reading very well at all. It rarely reads the field that the cursor is on when I press insert up arrow, and when I type it echoes all of these strange numbers even when I type letters, and I have the characters turned off. I haven't used very many programs on the main frame yet, but I am sure they are only going to be more complicated, and that they won't speak well at all. > I'm wondering if anybody has had experience using a main frame before. I'm looking for any suggestions and/or assistance. I want to get this problem solved quickly, because I don't want my employer to decide I'm not worth the energy. I'm not sure that the city in which I live has truly knowledgeable and experienced people who can accurately assist me. > Thanks in advance, and have a good day! > To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. > > To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
