Hi Mac

I'm not sure what experience you have with Windows itself, but if you're confused about some of the concepts, you might like to join another list to ask other sort of windows related questions. This way, you'll have a better understanding of the type of things that Jim, myself and others are talking about. This list is for people who are intermediate to advanced Windows users, so you are going to see some more advanced stuff. it's not always easy to walk folks through things, nice as it is. So, when you see posts like this, it's not as if that the more advanced users on the list are trying to be rude or abrupt, far from it. It's just that you aren't understanding the exchange of information. If you really wanna try to learn about things, ask about specific terms that you're fuzzy on. Like for example, if you don't understand a term that Jim, myself, or someone else is using, just write in and say hey, I'm not sure what you're refering to here, could you elaborate or explain what you mean by *insert term you aren't sure about here*? if you do we'll be happy too. But to do that, we have to know exactly what you're not sure about, so it helps to be specific. That way, we'll all help each other which is what the list is all about, that's the goal here.

Jim,

One of the reasons that you are not understanding my problems at all is that
you seem to be expecting that your instructions are understandable to a
novice!  I have some Win Amp experience, but, alas, not a lot of
understanding of the inner workings, as you seem to have.  So, when you
offer these instructions, you just might offer them with a sense that I
probably will not have a clue as to what you are talking about, OK?  I will
read over your post, quite a few times, until it sinks in, or, maybe, if I
am lucky, you will walk me through it, very slowly!

Thanks,

-Mac-

Hi I am not understanding your problem at all. Just move down in the tree
find the option you want hit f6 to switch frames. All the options should be
there in the next frame.
This is a standard windows command hence it being added to the jaws scripts
to provide functionality.

Oh, I read your post over again!  I still don't know what you mean by not
confirmed; which part of my original message is not confirmed?  Anyway, I am

using JAWS 8 , XP Home, Sp2, but, I.E.6, not 7!  BTW, I got the build 1178,
a couple of hours ago and was able to get into preferences, configure some
things, but, I am still not able to navigate the library very well!  I sure
wish someone would tell a person how to configure this puppy nearly
completely or, failing that, just what to do to get to the place where the
library is as it used to be, because it is really not too useable right now,

unless one is a very advanced user of Win Amp and I have been using it for a

few years!

How are you faring with the library?  I used to be able to have a whole list

of ripped folders, could burn a CD, could even create a Disc Writer
crossfaded CD, from the SQR program, but, right now, nothing!
