Hi John,

The NVDA review mode is the equivalent of the JAWS cursor and believe 
me, it works a lot better once you get the hang of it.  It is much more 
interactive.  You can switch to it and copy text or dialogue messages 
that the JAWS cursor--although it advertises itself as such simply won't 
do.  It involves the use of the numpad or the laptop 
equivalent--something that takes a bit of a learning curve if you are 
used to JAWS.

Hope this helps.
