Hi Geoff,

Yes, I did.  I haven't implemented my script yet, but I will in the near
future.

I have learned that there is no opt_ jcf option, GetJCFOption or
SetJCFfOption dealing with keyboardType.
After waiting for a week and sending a second note to JAWS Support, I
learned that, if I want the feature,  I'd have to send in a request to have
the feature added to JAWS.

Jackie has suggested I use IniReadString and iniWriteString to modify the
JCF file.
This is what I'll do.

I would think that JFW should be able to know if you have an external or
laptop keyboard connected and act accordingly.  But, who am I but a lowly
user.

Reed
