Hi Anthony,

I sent this to the list about 12 hours ago.

Hi Everyone;

Some of you have been discussing the WinAmp library in 5.2 and, I found this
post on another list.

I hope that people on this list could benefit from this post.

>>3.  Now here's where it gets kinda tricky. First you'll need to press

>>4.  In the original directions, my friend told me to left click, this

>>of the numpad slash key, usually used for switching to different cursors.
>>What *should* happen is a web page should come into focus.  You

>>you need to do the the turn on the virtual and left click shuffle,
>>and in some cases, you may even need to route your pc cursor to your
>>JAWS cursor to bring things into focus.  So again this is not a
>>perfect solution, but it's a lot better than it was before.  It gets
>>us where we need to be, but the interface will hopefully get better
>>soon.  I'm sure that maybe some JAWS scripts could be made so that
>>when focusing on that part of the library the webpage can grab the
>>focus.  Anyways, I thought I'd bring this to your attention. I'm
>>planning on writing to the developers and tell them of my findings
>>and tell them we're a little further along, but most definitely not there
>>yet.
