fyi, to anyone who wants to try this (using the Office VBA editor), below is
a better "skeleton" to start with; you add the window eyes com object to the
references, create a new module, and start with this for the main body; copy
it each time you start a new function or sub. the commands ending with an
apostrophe are to show you those lines don't get copied over to the vbscript
version (hopefully I'll come up with something which removes them).
what you get is a very good way to use intellisense on any of your variables
that you decide to type by adding an " as <type>" to their declaration.
hopefully my processing prog will remove the type declarations as well:
Option Explicit
Sub WE_Main() '
' window eyes script main body, function, or sub goes within the "WITH"
statement below:'
With WindowEyes.Application '
With .Speech
With .Script
End With '
End With '
End With '
End Sub '

WE?
thanks Aaron and Ron; this is exactly what I had to do in the MS Office
script, although I suspect the details will end up being different; that
script is very specific to the way Office does things.
which reminded me, office allows you to add any com object to the list it
works with, and it's VBA (very close to VBScript), so I just went and added
the window-eyes .tlb to it's list, and created the following module within
an office VBA code window; it works very well, although it won't
autocomplete any VBScript variables you define since they don't come with a
type. I'm thinking the notepad++ you mention would have to have the same
issue.
what if you wrote your script using VBA (specifying variable and function
types), and there was a routine which stripped them off to produce the
VBScript file when you wanted to run it? I'm going to run with that for now
to see if ultimately it makes things easier or not.

You can activate Notepad++'s "intellisense"-like feature by pressing
Control-Space on a context sensitive word. The problem with this feature is
that, after the list of suggestions pops up, you have both a cursor and a
highlight that navigates with the arrow keys. While the cursor doesn't move
as you arrow, it's where Window-Eyes is paying attention to, meaning you
just hear the line number repeated as you arrow up and down.
You could write a script to resolve this. Watch for OnChildCreate with a
ClassName of "ListBoxX" and make the arrow keys read the list. Perhaps
that's something I'll work on, time permitting.
