Then that doesn't have anything particularly to do with the word "mouse," 
does it.  No wonder I misunderstood you.  Thanks very much.

Basically, I want an external numpad that will allow me to execute JAWS
commands.

I don't get it.  You mean, in your question, you're only referring to
those two keys, and not about the mapping of the entire num pad?  I'm
trying to learn something here about this topic.  Please don't respond
sarcastically.
thanks.

Andy,

I'm confused.  What do you mean by screen reader mouse commands?  So far
as I understand the functions of my num pad when it's dedicated to Jaws,
nearly all the keys are assigned either to perform proprietary Jaws
reading commands or to duplicate simple navigational functions found
also on the "six pack" cluster of keys to the right of the upper rows of
the main keyboard; with Jaws, only the right and left mouse clicks are
enabled by the slash and star keys.  None of the rest of that keypad has
to do with mouse stuff.

Thanks for explaining.  Maybe I've missed something.

Hi list,

I recently ordered a Dell laptop, and I would prefer to use an external
numeric keypad.  Does anyone have recommendations and sources for
external numpads that work with screen reader mouse commands?
I use both JFW and Window-Eyes.
Andy
