You can but it is not very easy for users to add global scripts. With window-eyes it is so much easier to add them. now again I must agree with Jamie though window-eyes needs a lot more application scripts. I am hoping over the summer when I don't have kids here every day to start really getting to work on window-eyes scripting. You know how it is things have a way of happening.

JFW Hi Jamie: I would like to point out that, although a number of Window-eyes scripts which are available are not application scripts, many of them just add features to Window-eyes which are not available in its core. The Virtual View script and the Autocomplete scripts are perfect examples of this. I would therefore argue that many of the scripts which are not application scripts are very useful. As a matter of fact, I don't know if you can add features to JAWS by writing a script.
