> 3. Starting at the top of the page, tab repeatedly until you reach the
> unmute button.  This may take a lot of tabbing until you finally land on it.
> 4. Once you are on the unmute button, press the up arrow key repeatedly to
> increase the volume to your desired level.
> 5. Finally, turn on the virtual cursor again with JAWS key-Z.  HTH.
