Hi, I'm assuming with your last statement that you mean setting the cursor as a blinking character in your emulation software. The other setting would be a block cursor setting, which JAWS hates. Another thing that people tend to do in JAWS is to play with the cursor width and height. In JAWS 12, it would be in Settings Manager, which uses the old config files, but with a new interface.

One of the settings is associated with the blink rate of the cursor. Jaws was unable to track the cursor in one of the versions of Attachmate Extra I used and I managed to get it working using this setting. The Passport PC to Host software worked out of the box provided I set the cursor to a blinking underline character.

I'm not accustomed to fooling around with them considering I always fail when I do.

Attachmate Extra worked reasonably well but did have some problems with cursor tracking and Jaws has scripts for it as standard. The best emulator I used was zephyr Passport PC to Host. There are no Jaws scripts but I hacked the Extra scripts around to create scripts for Passport. The online help system is totally accessible, as is the macro system, file transfer function and keyboard mapping function. You do have to tweak Jaws settings to enable cursor tracking to work correctly but this is quite simple.

The language is cobol. /Gabriel __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind ________________________________ No virus found in this message.
