Hi Mike, Yes, there are classes (comprising some 30 something hours of mp3 files), but unless you're a professional programmer (well, even if you are), you still are going to have to invest quite a bit of time before being able to write moderately complicated scripts. Also, under the help menu of the Window-Eyes main window is a choice for documentation, and under there is a quite thorough reference manual for developers. It's not designed as a teaching tool, but a reference source, but still I thought I should mentioon it.
The quicker and easier route is to learn to use the HotSpot app; it lets you apply logic and commands to help work around difficult situations, without having to learn how to script. It comes with Window-Eyes, so check out its help feature to learn what it can do; in many situations, it can take the place of scripting with much less work.

Hello Chip I am interested in learning how to script. Are there any concise notes to get a beginner started. At present I am training with a new Guide Dog and time is at a premium. I don't have the time available to listen to long mp3 files. With thanks and best wishes Mike. t 01:07 29/07/2015, you wrote: >Hi newbies, > > > >I'm just curious, do we have anyone who's new to this list and scripting, >say, in the last two years or so? > > > >It seems like we haven't done much in the last couple of years, and we don't >have our wiki any more to give newbies any sort of history to bring >themselves up to date on, so I'm wondering is there anyone here who wants to >write a script, but is new here and doesn't really know where to start or >what to ask?
