There was an external JfwAPI or JfwAPICtrl dll file that was in use for older versions of JAWS. It came bundled with a bunch of JAWS friendly software and I believe Jamal still uses it; I don't know how many versions of the file exist but the one I've been using still works in Jaws 10 (as well as the freedomSci system). For a few lines of code, I figure its best to try both as they seem to be different interfaces to a similar system. Sean.
