Hi Stacey, To add a script to your keyboard commander, you’ll do the following: Access your keyboard commander area by going to vo Utility, commanders, keyboard. Activate the add button, and then choose a key you’d like to be pressed in conjunction with the option key to access the download notifier script. Then you’ll click on the command menu button, and go down to custom commands which is a sub menu. You’ll go to the option that says run apple script. Activate that, and you’ll be put in a standard finder dialog where you can access the file. Wherever you put the script folder, you’ll need to browse to that, and then choose the file that’s called, download notifier. Press enter, and the command should be set. So the next time you press option and your selected key for that script, it should speak the information. HTH, Rachel. On Mar 5, 2015, at 6:18 AM, Stacey Robinson <[email protected]> wrote:
