Hi Jim.
I agree that about the best you will do for written content is the JAWS
training material in conjunction with the VU list of commands. I have used the
VU withht the qwerty key with JAWS for awhile, but fD it difficult to remember
all of the commands, so being the lazy guy I am, I used the VU with the YWERTY
keyboard. I have a couple of clients who have similar set-ups.
Good luck,
Scott

Jim: I would look for the assistance you need through the user guide for the
various tra, and then develop your knowledge through the Jaws training
material.
The Varioultra's guide comprehensively describes setup with Jaws.
And yes: it is possible to execute many Windows commands from the display.
Good luck.

All,
My question to all is where might one find a good guide for using a braille
display with a computer. I have been asked to offer guidance to someone who
wants to buy a VU and connect it to a laptop. Though I have had my VU for
quite a while now, I never connected it to my computer. This person uses
JAWS on her laptop and heard there were issues with that VU. I am writing
this message with my Vu connected to my desktop and using JAWS. The
connection was really easy for me but I am just wondering if there is a good
manual or guide anyone knows about to help me learn more quickly. As an
example, I just did the d2,d4,d5,d6 in MS outlook receiving quite a list of
shortcut key combinations; can these be done on a display without use of the
computer’s qwerty keyboard for an example? I have used the key describer
feature, which helps quite a bit.
Best
