You might remember that a few months ago I was trying to get jaws to recognise the PuTTY window class as a console. Well, thanks to a discussion on the blind programming list last week I have a solution. If you add the PuTTY window class in the default script file and surround it in quotes it should work. Example: || TheClass == "PuTTY" You should add this in the SayNonhighLightedText function. This will read the new text as its written to the window. It won't however read text that you are deleting and it won't read by character. I'm still working on that though as it does work in the command prompt. there should be a way of telling it what to do somewhere.
