>Version 2.4
>Released May 8, 2007
>
>Fixed the commands that change drives not remembering the last directory
>viewed on the drive.  Now the Open Drive command, Alt+Shift+O, and
>specific drive commands, Alt 1 through Alt+9, open either the root
>directory or last directory viewed.  The Go to Folder and Open Folder
>commands, Control+G and Control+O, behave similarly if a drive letter and
>colon are entered without additional path information.
>
>Reset the Text Out Delay setting to zero in the JAWS configuration file,
>since a higher number suppresses the guessing of names when in the FileDir
>dialog for specifying a directory.  The trade off is that JAWS speech will
>sometimes be repetitive when navigating a list of files or folders.  A
>user can raise the JAWS setting to balance these considerations according
>to personal preference.
>
>Made Control+C, Control+X, and Control+V work like Windows Explorer.  File
>and folder paths are placed on the clipboard, not as plain text, but in
>the binary format that now facilitates file transfers between FileDir and
>Explorer views.  For a plain text list of paths instead, press Alt+C, or
>Alt+Shift+C for names without the preceding parent folder.
>
>Use the Zip List command, Control+Shift+Z, to create or update a zip
>archive based on a list of files or folders in a text file.  For example,
>the file backup.lst would contain the full path of the target zip archive
>as the first line of text.  Subsequent lines would contain file or folder
>names to be added to the archive.  Paths are not needed before these names
>if they are in the same directory as the archive.
>
>As before, Control+F4 closes the current window.  A new command,
>Control+Shift+F4, closes all windows except the current one.  This may be
>useful if you have opened a lot of windows, making it challenging to
>choose one of particular interest.  The Windows Open command, Shift+W, now
>says the number of windows open before listing their titles.
>
>
>As before, Control+Slash opens a command prompt in the current directory.
>Now Alt+Slash opens the directory in Windows Explorer.  The optional JAWS
>scripts support Control+Backslash and Alt+Backslash as synonyms for these
>commands for consistency with the "Homer editor interface."  This is part
>of a JAWS scripting toolkit available as an executable installer at
>http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/kitsetup.exe
>or as a zip archive at
>http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/kitsetup.zip
