A little more information on IE5. Here is the location for beta scripts that
support Jaws for Windows.

Scripts that will allow JAWS for Windows 3.02.31 to work with the newly
released Internet Explorer 5 have just been posted to the beta scripts
portion of the web site. You may find them on the web at
http://www.hj.com/JFW/Scripts/JFWBetaScripts.html

or on the ftp site at
ftp://ftp.hj.com/jfwdist/jfw3.2/scripts/BetaScript/ie5scripts.exe

They offer no new functionality on the web, but do work with the newest release

of I.E.. Pending further testing, they will not be supported by HJ technical
support. They will be a part of JFW 3.3 when it is released.
