[nfbcs] Terminal emulation and Jaws

I do remember having to do something with window class, in the distant past.
Can you refresh my memory as to where to find them?  Is it under scripts, or
configuration?

I did not need to change the emulator version to go to Windows 7.

I wonder if it is something as simple as a window class changing? Do you
know what the scripts are doing? Perhaps it's as simple as doing a Say All
when a particular window class has focus.

You need to eliminate some factors; is this the same version of TN3270? Or
did you have to upgrade it to get it working with Windows 7?

Not sure how fast I can do this by mail, but here goes...

Am I safe to assume that the JAWS cursor reported text from the terminal
window before but no longer does?

Try maximizing the terminal screen. If that doesn't work, find a way,
perhaps via visual assistance, to verify that no window is covering up all
or part of the terminal window. So-called "stay on top" windows, like alert
messages and popup dialogs, can do that even over a maximized screen
sometimes.

Let me know what comes of those ideas and I'll see where to go from there.

I have a terminal emulator, TN3270,  I've been using for probably 20 years
on various machines.  Today, I installed it on my husband's new Dell,
running Windows 7 and Jaws 15.  I installed the scripts and compiled them,
and I set up the session display the same as I always do.  However, Jaws is
not reading the terminal screen at all.  I called Jaws tech support, but
their only idea was to upgrade Jaws to 17.  I can do this, but I'm sure it
won't fix my problem.

If anyone has any more productive ideas, I'd be glad for them.
