[gui-talk] [EXTERNAL] Re: clearing virtual buffer?

[Baracco, Andrew W]

As a government employee, I see this all the time, and what they want
you to do is to use your screen redraw command, which in JAWS is
INSERT-ESCAPE.

I agree.  I know of no actual way of clearing or erasing the virtual
buffer of a screen reader while on a Web page.  That suggestion from the
Web page is very unclear.  I agree that they probably are referring to
refreshing the virtual buffer.  For JAWS, this is indeed insert-escape.

For Window-eyes, it's insert-backslash and for NVDA it's insert-f5.
