[NABS-L] Quick PC Question

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi Shane and Asia, thank you both so much for your replies. 
Asia, 
Thank you both so much for taking the time to help with this. Unfortunately on my computer, insert and f-2 only changes the setting temporarily, but I followed Shane's instructions and got it to work! The only difference is that it showed on my computer as typing echo, rather than keyboard echo.
Thanks, 
Vejas

>> Hi Shane,
>> Thanks so much for your reply. I tried typing in "echo" from the Start menu, but it then says "Have Narrator announce when I type." I couldn't find anything in that list of information that relates specifically to JAWS. I believe I have Narrator on my computer, but JAWS is what was on and talking. Any idea how I could get to it specifically for JAWS settings? I want to set it permanently as opposed to temporarily.
