[nfbcs] JAWS and using RDP

[William Grussenmeyer]

I think I had this problem before too.  I think the problem might be
that hitting ALT + CTRL takes you out of the RDP session and back to
your computer.  I don't remember what key combination takes you back
out of the remote session window, but if it is that you would have to
change the key combination that takes you out of the remote session to
something else.
