- LR> Your "JAWS dictionary" problem might be something else. A long time ago,

- Well, I thought you might have found my problem, but I just exited
- out of msged, and remed out the ansi.sys file, and I rebooted, and
- while jaws did not work right without the ansi.sys loaded, it did
- not make any difference in the pronounciation problem with Downey.
- I ws luckey enough to have a message to him, and Downey was being
- mispronounced, so I checked it out without the ansi.sys, and it
- still pronounced it like down nigh, and it should be pronouncing it
- as down knee.
