Well, I don't know if I qualify as a master setfile designer, but
I'll try and shed a little light in your questions 'grin'.
First of all, you need to know window-eyes, what it can do, what it
can't do as far as setfile creation, how to define windows, what they
can do, what are hyperactive windows, etc, read the manual and study it.
YOu don't have to know everything to get started, but the more you
know, the better off you'll be.
Secondly, know the program you want to create a setfile for.
Know what it does, what places the text pops up at, what do you want
to make talk and how?
Thirdly, don't try and do everything at once, take it a little piece
at a time, think of one function you want to do, say you could do
something simple like define a sumple user window around a status
line at the bottom of a screen and just use the default window
reading hotkey to read that window.
Fourthly, get ready to experiment, and trial and error, and pull your
hair out and have lots of fun and yes, frustration too when things
don't work like the manual says they will and you have to call up
gwmicro and bitch, or great joy when it actually does work right and
you can enjoy an easier work flow 'grin'.
Fifthly,
Double tripple and quadrupple check yourself, because if your like
me, you'll make silly mistakes getting in a hurry and bugger
something up like having looping hyperactive windows or forget to
take a step and then wonder why something isn't working and then feel
silly when you discover why 'grin'.
Sixthly,
Be very glad to god your not a programmer because if you were, they'd
have to lock you up in a padded room with large doses of exotic
un-tested medications to keep you calm and feed you through a hole in
the wall and nobody'd ever see you again.
Be glad your a normal human being and only a setfile writer, and
this is much much easier than actual programming.

Hi listers. Just wondering from the master set file creators. How do
you go about attacking a new program? What's a good step by step
method for creating set files to work with a program you haven't
used before but that you'd like to make more automated speech output
for? What should be done first, second, third, fourth, etc.? What do
you need to know about the software program itself, and what do you
need to know about Window-Eyes for greater functionality?
Much thanks,
Andre
