Yes it shows off scripting nicely.  the window-eyes title bar reads 
the information manually, and I don't know why it can'b be triggered 
automatically, but I sure haven't been able to do it, and I figure 
their are minds much better than nmine who would have done it if it 
was easy.  I don't want and have tried not to be catigorized as a 
freedom jfw basher, just because it is big.  I have tried to advocate 
for choice and to express valid concerns about jfw and freedom 
scientiffic's draw bbacks.  No company or product is perfect.  The 
issue here is that their are a number of choices.  People aught to be 
able to make enformed choices about the options, especially when the 
money on the table is their own money.
Most all of what we do is windows, and not screen reader spaciffic 
after all.  A competant computer user who needs one screen reader for 
work, but has learned on another, should be able to make the transition.
It's not exactly like going from unix to windows.  People make the 
chasum that wide.  but windows hot keys are in windows, not in any 
screen reader.  I hear that jfw takes over a few of them, but their 
is still a bypass key if necessary, and I think most of that is in 
name, not in function.
I use window-eyes when I can, and jfw when I have to.
I wonder, what do you have to do to get jfw to read a file list with 
your chosen details properly.  Their way of trunkating names makes 
many operations very difficult.  I assume their is a work around 
which I wish they would put in their default set up.
