No problem man.
It's the perfect tool for us sort of wanna be programmers, I can't
quite get my head about full blown vb, object models, and all that
just yet, but with autohotkey, I can easily do message boxes, use
variables, hot keys, and hot strings, a hugely powerful feature
because you can always have more hot strings than keys, as long as
you can make up alpha numeric characters, and tie actions to them.
And scripts can trigger based on active window titles, or not, and
include one another, and it's got it's own little compiler to make
each script in to an executable.
Runs great on 32 and 64 bit.
Oh yeh, the menu and gui functions are cool too.
My only bitch about it was that I couldn't talk directly to
window-eyes, need a com object model to do that, and a good buddy of
mine is helping me with that.
But being able to work outside of window-eyes makes it possible for
these scripts to support old versions of we as well as other
screen-readers, jaws is it's usual pain in the ass because it's
keyboard driver sometimes fights with autohotkey, but it can work
with jaws too.
My work around to make we talk with the scripts has been to send
keystrokes to trigger we reading functions,
which works great as long as nobody changes the keystrokes.
But it's just so great, I can navigate around say a 12 channel mixer
in sessiondrummer 3 faster than a sighted person could, we've got
volume, pan, tune,
outputs, solos, and mutes, and width controls.
I can type v1. and be right there, or p12. and be right there, volume
and pan respectively.
I can jump to the 12 pads on either of the pages with a hotstring or key,
and stringing series of mouse clicks together is just too easy.
Go check it out, you'll like it.

I really like autohotkey.
YOu can do the no-brainer thing and let it copy your keystrokes as you type
them, this is hard for a blindy to do because it tends to hang window-eyes
up, or you can learn the language and do it manually.
It's very powerful and very flexible.
I've written lots of useful scripts with this tool for myself, and for fee,
but just about anything you can type, click, run, or manipulate, re-map,
etc, you can do with this util.
