For those who may know what's happening here, I decided to add a keyboard 
assignment to FS Reader. This is the free daisy reader FS supplies with Jaws 
beginning with jaws 12.0. The problem I'm having is that I assigned F12 to 
play and pause but the keyboard assignment just won't take. Here's how I did 
it.

I pressed Insert + F8 to launch the keyboard manager.

I pressed the letters FS to take me to FSReader section of keyboard manager.

I tabbed to get into the list of scripts.

I pressed down arrow to the play/pause script.

I pressed my windows applications key and pressed enter on add a keystroke.

I pressed F12 then tabbed to uncheck the desktop setting as I want this 
functionality available on my laptop keyboard too.

I used the jaws cursor to review the screen and made sure all was fine.

I tabbed to ok and press enter. I accepted the confirmation message.

After having confirmed the new keystroke was added I closed KB manager and 
unloaded and reloaded jaws.

When pressing F12, instead of jaws mimicking the Control + P keystroke, FS 
just keeps on talking. Weird!

Any ideas as to the flakiness of jaws? I assigned rewind and forward to F10 
and F11 and these work just fine.

Anyone have any ideas as to how to solve this jaws mystery?

Andre
