I think I may have grabbed that one yesterday though I don't remember. And are those resources on App Central too? The online resources you mentioned?

Hello Katherine, There is no one catch-all solution that will work in every situation when evaluating the accessibility of unfamiliar software. A good place to start is to become comfortable with the WEEvent utility from App Central. Also, the online script training resources created by Chip Orange, which are also available at App Central, will likely prove helpful.
