[NFBCS] Jaws and shell scripts

[Chris Nestrud]

I find that PuTTY has issues with cursor tracking when using JAWS when
using either of the three available cursor styles. Recent JAWS versions
include scripts for PuTTY but they do not seem to address cursor
tracking. I've emailed Vispero to see if they have suggestions. If you're interested, you might do the
same to raise awareness.

If you need to continue using JAWS, your best bet for a GUI ssh client
is Secure CRT. I use this for work and it performs very well.

If you must use PuTTY and can use NVDA, PuTTY seems to work well at least as far as cursor
tracking.

There is also a command-line ssh client which can be installed through
Windows 10 by going to start menu then searching for 'Turn Windows
features on or off'. This should work with JAWS or NVDA.
