I mean, talk about cursor tracking issues, but I've also noticed them in the 
windows command prompt under the dos shell and also in my minor experiences 
with PowerShell as well.  I think that FS really needs to shape up.  But don't 
tell anyone I said that.

Sina: Please let me/list know if a solution is found.
The cursor tracking in the Console/Cygwin is driving me mad.
I have the same problem both on Windows 7 (64-bit) and Windows XP.
I've been struggling with this for a long time.

And of course Ken is still on this list. I was thinking the jaws scripts list 
for a second.

Either that, or he's so old, I just keep killing him off, *smile*.

I also just got an email from him that he had tried the other technique but 
maybe not the next and prier overrides method, so standby on his progress with 
this technique.

Again, I'd be happy to spend some time trying to solve this problem.

Take care,
Sina

I'll be happy to let you listen with the overrides on and off, to show you that 
there is absolutely no change, or at least not one that is noticeable. Also, 
I'm on a decently fast connection.

If you've got some time, I'm available on skype and other messengers.

But as of now, this doesn't work for me, nor for Ken Perry, who might also 
still be on this list, and is also running windows 7 64-bit.

Take care,
Sina

Cina,

I too am running Windows 7 yet the problem of cursor tracking in nano and other 
editors over ssh is not unique to Windows 7 or Vista.  It occurs in Windows XP 
as well.

I fought it for at least a year before discovering the script override method 
described below and can assure you that this is the right track. The issue is 
that JAWS reads the new character before moving the cursor.  The Pause() 
function, which is equivalent to a Delay( 1 ) or 1/10th of a second solves this 
problem, although over slower connections, a Delay( 2 ) or more might be 
necessary.

Tested with Nano and Joe's Own Editor and both behave fantastically after 
making this change.

I will have to investigate the OSM recommendation described below to see if it 
improves the command-line editing in Windows 7, particularly the issue of 
Backspace re-reading the entire line.

Ben
