I plan to test this software but my first thoughts center on why selecting 
the printable link which is included with most news articles I've come 
across.  Using the,  list links and first letter navigation keys with JAWS, 
I can press the letter P and arrive at the printable version link quickly, 
thus, obviating the need for a program like this.  Any thoughts?
