Hello all:

I'm working on testing a program here at work that if we can get it to
work with speech and Braille, would provide someone who is totally blind
employment.  Basically, it's a terminal emulation program that is needed
to access certain databases from the state of Illinois which are stored
on a mainframe system.  The emulation package is called Blue Zone and is
launched via an ActiveX Control once a user is authenticated.

What happens is that prompts needed to enter various things are not
echoed back using speech, so you need a refreshable Braille display.
Even with refreshable Braille, we have run into occasional cursor
tracking problems.  What we have here is a good old fashioned command
line interface, but it does use function keys to get to various entry
and display screens.

.  We think we've gotten this to work with Window-Eyes and a Focus 80
Braille display by re-classifying the Blue Zone screen as a Rich Edit
control.  So my question is, is there an equivalent to the re-class
operation of Window-Eyes in JAWS 10?

Thanks,
