You usually have to kill JAWS and restart it. But then you can fix or delete the offending script. Often in a script that needs to loop a few times, I'll put a safety counter in the loop and increment or decrement it and when it hits the limit, get out of the loop immediately. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bissett, Tom Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 12:50 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] scripting Hi, As long as you only alter or create scripts in your personal directory and don't modify anything in the default [all users] directory you won't mess anything up. You can always roll back by deleting the offending scripts in your personal directory.

Well not all of it because this book I found has a crap load of information. What pointers/recommendations would a person have for the person who is starting to learn scripting? I quickly skimmed through it and there are a couple of small scrips of which they want us to put together but mainly can I potentially mess something up? Lol, this is still a new laptop I have and I would hate to kill it already. Thanks.
