[gui-talk] Jaws Daisy updates

Good morning all,
I took the bait when someone on this list announced that a boatload of new 
FS instruction files were available, went to my Jaws page by Insert J (I 
have Jaws running as a service in the system tray), checked off and 
downloaded and, I guess, installed,  a lot of the books listed there.

it took many minutes, during which I was away from the computer and barely 
heard what must have been one progress bar after another.

When that stopped, and I sat back down at the computer, there was a dialogue 
that said little except that the whole operation had concluded, and offering 
an OK button to finish it off.

then it went back to my Outlook Express Inbox and kept reading through all 
the email titles in it until I managed to shut it up.

Well, what now? I haven't tried out this stuff in ages. I'm not on 
Bookshare, either, so I don't get any practice with Daisy there, either.

So what do I do to bring up these books, one at a time, and look through 
them? Where do I find the basic instructions or  how to use the FS Reader? 
I'm just staring at my OE Inbox as if nothing had happened, sort of, and 
wondering how to get started on self-instruction today.

I know these are awfully basic questions, you guys. Help will be 
appreciated.
Joel
