Hi Dave.

Another though.  Could you route the PC Cursor to the JAWS cursor after
you 
got the JAWS cursor into the list of stations worked?  If not, then I
would 
guess that this feature would eventually become useless at the point
where 
there were enough stations in the list to require one to scroll through
the 
list.

That might be the largest challenge of the things that you've mentioned 
thus far.
