This is very simple. When you run the program, it has a list of keys that you've mapped, which will start off empty. You press the add button. A screen comes up with a listbox for the source key, and another for the key to remap it to. You make your selections and press OK. When you've mapped all of the keys that you want, you press the "write to registry" button.
Very simple.

Could you give me instructions off list how to remap keys as you know by now I wish to have a jaws cursor. I am using Fusion but it doesn't matter where I put an insert key there is no jaws cursor. May be you might share it I don't know as another user is trying to do the same as me. Kawal. On Mon, 28 Jun 2010 05:55 -0400, "Bryan Smart" <bryansm...@bryansmart.com> wrote: > Yep. I use this, too.
