Hi Flor,
Thanks for the links below, of which I wasn't aware.
Could be a fine companion to John Wilson's "from the keyboard" tutorials.
come to think of it, I don't think they're being updated any longer.
May be useful for the training sections of the VICS website.

hi Tony,
WMP was not (or was not really) involved in my problems - which were very
minor but irritating - in about November 06. (I think Duxbury was
culpable;
but when i fixed it I forgot about it and things have worked out ever
since.
It was about that time that I had first upgraded to WMP11.) Now, i'm
going
to fetch the url for the tutorial. There is not a whole lot of difference
between the keystrokes you would use in either version 10 or version 11. I
think he replaced his earlier tutorial for 10 with 11.
I mainly use WMP for MP3 and on-line listening purposes - in other words,
I
use it where I can, it being my preferred audio player.
Two URLS, actually, one to do with JAWS guides in general:
http://vip.chowo.co.uk/jaws-guides/
and, for Windows Media Player (11)

Hi Flor,
Just a clarification!
Before you used WMP 11, were you using 9 or 10?
I am just wondering what version of WMP might have been causing you grief!
Is their a Jaws manual too for WMP 10 by the way?
Tony.
