It is difficult to know how much of the behavior of different keystrokes is
due to jaws or windows -- some keystroke behavior is built into windows.
Jaws adds its own on top of that, and jaws scripts add another layer.
I believe that hitting enter without your screen reader turned on might
activate a submit button, but I'm not sure. Perhaps a sightling like Mark
Long could try or answer from his vast store of knowledge on the
subject...*smile*
Happy hacking.

Shane:
Thanks for the help. This sounds as though it's a greasy way of working
around an inherent problem. In a sighted world, the user simply inputs the
data by bringing focus via the tab key or a click of the mouse. Leaving the
edit field is as equally simple....
Where's Window Bridge when you need it.

On a desktop, it's the numpad plus button, I believe. You should be able to
obtain them from your jaws helpfile.
