Hi Adam,
My memory could be wrong about this, so check. I remember that in at least one 
terminal emulator, the last line of the screen would contain a scroll bar. You 
could turn that scroll bar  on and off. When it was off, JAWS would read the 
bottom line properly. The bottom line was the status line. If that does not 
work, you could grab that script from the default script set and make JAWS turn 
on the invisible cursor, go to the bottom of the screen, then move up one line, 
and finally, read the line.

Thanks.

Jim

Subject: [jawsscripts] JAWS only working in " Windows Classic Mode" on laptop 
in Windows 7 in PCOM

Hello,
Ran into some issues with JAWS running on  a Windows 7 laptop.
What's going on is this:

JAWS does not execute some scripts properly unless the display is set to 
Windows classic on this laptop I am testing.

For example,
For Windows 7 on the E6530 laptop, it seems JAWS does not execute some scripts 
properly unless the display is set to Windows classic. While set to Windows 7 
basic, a script to read the last line of Windows read the taskbar instead (read 
correctly if window was restored).  When I set the display to Windows classic, 
JAWS properly rate the last line of the PCOM window while window was restored 
or maximized.

Is there a way to have JAWS work on Windows 7 without having to be in "classic 
mode?" Or do the scripts need to be edited? Has anyone else had this problem 
before?
