I am admittedly curious why you wish specifically to prevent your work from being used in an environment outside of Window-Eyes. I have been known to encourage translation of my scripting work into other environments, for the improvement of usability of apps across screen readers. If you're worried about use outside of a screen reader, this would usually mean the app/script could exist without one, which raises the question of why it is coded as part of a screen reader in the first place.
I am, of course, not trying to attack or diminish your work, as I admire what you have managed to do since the inception of Window-Eyes scriptability. I'm just wondering why the restriction.

BTW, to anyone who is a scripter: I've published this version as encrypted VBScript only to keep it from possibly being copied and used in other environments other than Window-Eyes. It doesn't mean I'm not willing to allow others to see the source code, once you agree to not sharing it with anyone else and not using it in any environment other than Window-Eyes. It's about 17000 lines at the moment, so if there's something you'd like to do in particular, I could also try to pick out just that snippet for you. The only technique I can think of which could be useful to others is working with web sites which return XML data. I certainly had to teach myself quite a bit to do that. The other thing I've taught myself might be called advanced dialog use and design. I hope to have the time to create a class session on that; I see now it would be more useful than the ones where I covered individual controls.

The options for getting directions has been improved, with more choices (hopefully also being simpler to use). Documentation has been enhanced. Here's the description: Provides access to Google+ Places and directions (walking, driving, or using the transit system!), allowing you to make use of your current location or to specify locations from your database of points, or a street address, or a GPS receiver, or an IP address. This app lets you search for any type of place near you (searching can be based on quite flexible criteria), or just to see all the places which are near-by. The directions can be driving, walking, or public transit, and the from and to locations can be specified by address, pulled from your own points database, or pulled from the searching of Google places. Anyone lucky enough to live in a city with Google transit information should really get a lot out of the directions especially. I keep planning to add more for those with a tablet/laptop and a GPS, but right now, the app has changed towards being mainly used as a way to explore a city and to plan your routes. I would appreciate suggestions. (please don't forget to go into the options and enter your default location after installation). Thanks.
