Hello,
I tried to assign the black on navy gray to foreground and background
colors, but now jaws reads a lot of things much like if the all mode
(ins + s) was active ..
Sean, your message is with several strange characters which makes its
understanding hard ..
The app is minitab.
If you guys could explain me how these things related to color
assignments work it would be cool.
