-----Original Message----- From: owner-webwatch-l@teleport.com [mailto:owner-webwatch-l@teleport.com] On Behalf Of Kelly Ford Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 1998 8:04 PM To: kford@teleport.com Subject: webwatch-l JFW Beta 3.2 and Lynx for Windows 95 Hi All, Others may not have experienced a problem with this in the past and due to the many computer configurations things might still work differently on your machine but I thought I'd share my experiences with the new JFW 3.2 public beta software and the text-based web browser Lynx running under Windows 95. In the past the largest problem I had was with the use of the cursor keys to navigate in Lynx. In short this didn't work for me, no matter what settings I tried in JFW, and in Lynx. Obviously this has changed for the better or I wouldn't be writing here. For whatever reason JFW and Lynx seem to work the way you'd expect i.e. the arrow keys navigate a web page when the PC cursor is on and allow you to review the screen with the Jaws cursor. At least for me this hasn't been the case in JFW 3.0. With JFW set to Say All mode I now have access to Lynx with nearly the same functionality as I have when using it under DOS on my shell account. If you have never tried the web browser Lynx you owe it to yourself to give it a try.
