[nfbcs] UltraEdit

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

I have never tried to set up a "move by paragraph" function in WE and 
UltraEdit, because most of the text files I deal with don't have blank 
lines in significant places.  But I have found on some systems that 
UltraEdit is a little slow in scrolling text when you reach the top or 
bottom of the screen.  So you might try modifying the JAWS scripts for 
paragraph movement to introduce some delay before reading begins.  Or at 
least try a "read current paragraph" function after you move, in order to 
see what JAWS is going to read under the correct timing conditions.

I have never tried to use the spell checker.
