Excellent. Thanks. I didn't know that one. I had looked through all
manner of configuration looking for where I could make this emulate
JAWS, and I never found it. Any ideas on why web pages will contain data
for some period of time, and then Window-eyes will suddenly do nothing
except report top bottom? Most of the time, hitting refresh won't even
bring the page content back. Very frustrating.
