We'll have it translated into Norwegian, if you want. Contact me off-list.

Subject: Re: VBScript NotePad App and Loading To App Central
Hi Chip: I agree! Even during this project I lost workdue to inadvertently
having more than one version of a NotePad file open at once without knowing.
I'll be glad to put a NotePad script up but want to tweak it a bit first.
The xml file needs to be cleaned up and some strings should be more
descriptive.
If there are any other things you can think of in NotePad that could benefit
from scripting let me know and I'll add them prior to uploading if I can.
I might put a question out on list, and perhaps the Blind Programming list,
to see if I can get someone to translate the warning message into a foreign
language so I can see how that works.
Another option here might be to use one of those online translators but I'm
not sure how good they are.
Later:

Very nice Rick; thanks, and I hope everyone in the class will download the
.zip file attached to Rick's message. he's not only provided his solution, but
he's provided a "walk through" document, a kind of log of his process for
developing this app and debugging and testing it as he put the two parts
together, to make sure everything was working ok.
Rick, I've decided this is useful enough to me that I'm going to keep mine
running, but I don't feel like taking on the support of another app just now.
so, if you'd like to do it, feel free to finish it off and upload it to app
central; I think it's useful and belongs in the program enhancements. If you
don't feel like doing it though, maybe let the list know in case someone else
would like to take it on?
One thing I'd like to mention to the beginning students: in my examples,
I've always placed the code of the main body of any app at the start of the
.vbs file. You'll find Rick has placed his down into the .vbs file (a not
uncommon practice), marked with a comment.
this is all the same to Window-eyes, no matter where it's placed, it takes
all the statements which are not in a subroutine or function, and groups them
together and executes them as the main body; just something I thought I should
mention now, as I don't ever recall mentioning this point earlier, and someone
may have thought there was no main body code.

Subject: VBScript NotePad App and Loading To App Central
Hi Chip: Here is the Script files for the NotePad script we were
working on in class.
It is unfinished since I did not want to upload it to App Central unless
this is the version that would be a good Production Fit with anything else up
there for NotePad.
Also, since I have not uploaded it I don't have a real ID, ScriptNamed
Website and whatever else goes along with uploading a script properly. That
said, this is getting close and I will check out any docs on uploading scripts.
I to not want to add to the bloat that is happening with the available
scripts by putting up some test script so will wait until I hear from you here
or in class.
Anyway, it's done for now so it is what it is.
Let me know if you are going to put a real NotePad script up or if you are
going to modify an existing script.
Rick USA
