I read yesterday that announcement and I read that due to a change made by 
Microsoft, we won't be able to use the JAWS cursor to read the entire screen 
anymore, but only the current window.

So I am wondering, if we would read just the current window, will we able to 
get the screen coordinates as we can do it now?

And related to this problem, in latest JAWS version, when the current window 
is a command prompt and we use the JAWS cursor, JAWS doesn't announce the 
screen coordinates when we use the  key combination alt+Delete as it did in 
previous versions, but announce the coordinates reported to the margins of 
the MS Dos window.

Because of this change, I can't use the JAWS cursor to place it in the 
top-left and bottom-right corners of the MS DOS prompt window, in order to 
find how big is the current window and in order to be able to drag/drop its 
margins to enlarge it.

Do you know if there are other ways for finding the screen coordinates with 
the JAWS cursor when the MS DOS prompt window is active?

Thanks.
