[NFBCS] Command Line Editors

[Jack Heim]

I haven't used jaws for about 20 years but there used to be an email 
list to talk about jaws scripts. I posted a script there to recognize a 
password prompt and turn off character echo. I doubt that script exiss 
any more but I'm sure someone could reproduce it.

It often reads the wrong character/line, and most of the JAWS navigation commands, especially navigate by word, do not work--you end up writing some weird character. I have also found that I have to use a Braille display to really know what I am doing.
