The thing I'd wonder about is that if one went by info based on Jaws 6, will
it even compile any more using something newer? I tried to follow those
lessons on Main Menu from Jim Snowbarger, and ran into compile errors
quickly, and that may have been a couple years ago.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] scripting
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.
Regards,
Paul from Australia
