I don't know about Wineyes, but  I just get Jaws to read the list of links,
there is a comand to do that, then I can find the link I want easier.  You
might ask technical people what your password is, I was having trouble
gettting in to my courses the other day and Christa said it wasn't deleting
the password I was typingin, so each time I tried to  log in I was only
adding to the password.  You might have someone check.
As for the textbook, have you contacted the publisher, sometimes they will
send you an accessible format, like the text in Word or asci format.
Usually someone from the college has to certify that you have a print
handicap.  I have two of my books on disk, and I can just let Jaws read it
to me, It is easier in a way I can search for pages and chapters with out
having to go through twenty tapes.

Hope this helps some.

Rhonda
