Will do, Howard.

I'm sure the left mouse click key is on my work laptop somewhere!  (smile)

Tom,

Put JAWS in the key describer mode (insert plus the number 1) then you can
press keys on the keyboard and JAWS will tell you what they do thus, you can
find the mouse right and left click buttons.  Use the same command to get
out of key describer mode.
