Hi, I think that the book/file, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Writing JFW Scripts, But Didn't Know Whom to Ask, by Ken Gould is still the best way for the beginner to get into scripting.
That book was my starting point, along with help from the JAWS scripting list suggested in an earlier post. Remember though, that book was written before JAWS 6.0, and the location of scripting files is now differnt, & there are now more functions, features etc not covered. * I mention this just so you are aware, certainly not to discourage the use of the book, as I said, I think it is still the best way to start. FS also provides a book, Basics of Scripting, located in the manuals folder of each version. When you get to the point of understanding the use of functions, you may like to download from FS the FSDN function reference guide, which is basically the information available from the control+I keystroke, but arranged in a more friendly way to help you find a suitable function to use. It also has some other useful topics. - you can download the FSDN from the FS download page: http://www.freedomscientific.com/documentation/screen-readers.asp which also has other files relevant to scripting.
