Hi bert,

Thank you for that!

It is a good start of explaining!

I would like to know about the Jaws to Pc and Pc to jaws and if there is a
difference?

How about then using the virtual mouse, e.g., the left and right virtual
mouse keys?

I find that when I activvate the jaws cursor I am not where I was before say
when on the PC cursor!

Sometimes when people think that a programme is not accessible, that may not
always be correct as the Jaws cursor can indeeed be very helpful!

Looking forward to more on this subject from your good self and await too
Paul's mini-tutorial on same!

Good to have met you and your good wife recently socially!

Trust that you are both  well and happy as always!

Regards!

Tony.
