I put a JAWS frame around the serial number area  of Writelog and can 
call it when needed with a ctrl-N hot key combo.   Along with some other 
changes in JAWS, I don't get any extraneous jabber, just what I  need 
when I need it.

I'm not a braille guy, but have often wondered if braille output would 
make  copy of  digital modes   any easier, compared to speech output.

73, Steve  KW3A
