I don't know if Skype handles this differently, so disregard my message if someone else comes along and tells me I'm totally wrong. <smile>
That said, here are my thoughts: 1. Put the scripts wherever you want them. You'll assign them to keyboard shortcuts anyway, so organizing is simply personal preference since you can browse for them when you assign the key commands. Putting them in /library/scripts/VoiceOver is helpful only in that VO opens to that location by default when you assign a script to a commander shortcut. 2. Yes, you'd assign the scripts to services, then put a shortcut on that service. I believe you'd make the service specific to Skype, or global, depending on the behavior you want. Personally, I'd make most of the scripts global services, so that their keyboard shortcuts work in any application. Setting them to Skype only will make the keyboard shortcuts only activate the scripts when Skype is open, negating the handy effects of some of them (for instance, you'd have to switch to Skype to answer or end a call, instead of invoking that functionality from anywhere). If you assign the scripts to VO commanders, they are, of course, global. 3. You can also add them to either /library/scripts, or ~/library/scripts (in a subfolder if you like), then enable the scripting menu. Once enabled, this menu appears in the Extras menus and offers all the scripts stored in either scripts folder; pick one and press enter, and it runs. You can toggle this menu on and off from, oddly enough, the preferences in Applescript Editor. Hope this helps.
