They may of use to, but traffic on the script list tells different
story. Because they are finding that a lot of things are either used
different or deprecated, meaning no longer there.
If you do come across a script that won't compile. Try looking for
what the change is and what the new instance is used. Nothing stays
the same and change just makes you think.

Hi,
Yes, the examples from that book will still compile.
FS goes to a lot of trouble to make their scripting, & other features,
backward compatible.
In some more complex scripts, changes have been required between JAWS
versions, but by the time you can write scripts of that kind, handling the
changes is not an issue.
For anyone who runs into compile errors they can not resolve, then on the
JAWS scripting list, post the query with a copy of the script or function
that is causing the problem, along with a copy of the error message the
compiler gave, & someone may be able to help...

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.
