Hi I used emulation software for several years. 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.
