Using upper case letters for more detailed description

By default when using the existing shortcuts results are only returned from one engine, however it is possible to pull information from both engines at the same time using a shifted letter at the end of the command sequence.  When a capital letter is used at the end of the command sequence JAWS returns results from both engines to examine.  This may be helpful in instances where one engine seems to return erroneous results.
