I don't know what you mean by jaws not being in control of the pc
cursor.  It does not make any difference.  If it does not lock up
for you, you are lucky.  I spoke to TEd about this problem, and he
said that it was a problem in jaws 1.  It is something about it
send those signs out as words and it is overloading a buffer.  I am
not a programmer, so I don't quite understand it.  However, he said
that this problem will be cleared up in jaws 2.  I have also been
experiencing another problem that I was not sure about.  When I use
the alt key on the right end of the new keyboards, with another
key, I get function key to echo back to me.  Never when I use the
alt key on the left end.  He said that has happened to others
also,but that problem is cleared up in jaws 2.
