Re: [JAWS-Users] [now fixed, JAWS-Users] Jaws stops speaking for 10 to 15 seconds
Hi Steven &all, You were right, the I T person found the system was very busy fetching files & data from the server at my old office. Somehow, my roaming profile had not properly transferred to the new office, so there were significant delays with some programs fetching what they needed from the old server. They sorted out the profile problem & rebooted the machine. The problem with Jaws not speaking for long periods was fixed. Thanks again for your help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Copy File name
Hi Nicole, 2 methods. These presume you are using Windows Explorer in Windows 7, and have focus on the desired file name. Press shift+applications key, which brings up a list of options, then arrow down to "Copy as Path". Hit enter on that, and the full file path will be copied to the clipboard with no feedback from Jaws. If you just want the file name, then press F2, then highlight the file name using shift and an arrow key, do the control+C to copy to the clipboard, then ***very importantly, press escape to drop out of that edit field, as F2 is used to change file names. Hope this helps, Paul from Aust. -Original Message- >From Nicole Valicia Thompson-Andrews Is there a free program to copy file names to a document?

I type their name into the edit field that gains focus when the Same Time feature is activated, & can use the JAWS cursor to click on the word "Search" which according to Jaws seems to be one line lower, and that generally allows, "chat" to become available on the list brought up by the application key.

Re: [JAWS-Users] information about adding to default script files
Hi David, Thank you, thank you for this info... I have been scripting for a long time, but did not know this facility had been introduced. Warm regards, Paul from Australia - Original Message - From: "David Ferrin" I found this file under explore shared settings, the path is as follows: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\13.0\Settings\enu David Ferrin Many people think they are generous because they give out free advice. - Original Message - From: Eric Damery To: David Ferrin (d...@jaws-users.com) Sent: Friday, April 27, 2012 6:02 AM Subject: Here is the information I promised about adding to default script files Hi David, In the event you are just adding to your defaults rather than modifying our scripts, this could be helpful avoiding problems in the future. Regards, Eric Safely Adding Default Scripts Starting with JAWS 12, the default script file makes use of MyExtensions.jsb. MyExtensions.jss includes standard headers, but contains only a couple of stub functions for source code. The purpose of the MyExtensions scripts is to include in the JAWS distribution a script source file that will never contain any Freedom Scientific source code, thus allowing the end user to safely add new custom scripts without the need to make any changes due to a JAWS update. For this reason, new scripts and functions added to MyExtensions and placed in the user settings folder is a safe way to add custom scripts to JAWS. You should be aware, however, that MyExtensions should not be used to overwrite existing scripts or functions. Default scripts and functions do not call down to MyExtensions, so any scripts or functions in MyExtensions that have the same name as those in default or application scripts will never run. Scripts or functions with unique names will run, which is why you can use MyExtensions for added scripts and functions. Because JAWS key map (JKM) files are layered, you can also assign key mappings to your added MyExtensions scripts in default.jkm in your user settings. You can use Keyboard Manager to locate your scripts in MyExtensions by looking under Default scripts and assign keys to your custom scripts. By adding your custom scripts to MyExtensions, and assigning keys in default, you can safely extend JAWS scripts to include your own custom scripts. If you have developed a library of custom functions in a JSB file, you can add it to MyExtensions through the Use statement and it will now be available to you. Just remember to use unique names for scripts or functions added through MyExtensions, and save your modified MyExtensions source and compiled files to your user settings, and you should be able to enjoy your own custom scripts added to JAWS without having to make changes due to JAWS updates. You can also copy your MyExtensions files to new versions of JAWS. Depending on the extent of your script coding, you may want to ensure that your scripts are up-to-date with the latest script innovations, but you won't need to modify your scripts simply because JAWS updated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] scripting
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... Regards, Paul from Australia - Original Message - From: "Brent Harding" 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?

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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Karens Replicator. Help needed
Thanks Don, - more power than I realised... Thanks again, Paul from Aust - Original Message - From: "Don Marang" That is what we are here for. If you have any questions, ask on. For more complex backup and archive tasks the tags work great. They probably need some explanation, so I will provide an example. Adding a Job with the following target directory will create a separate directory structure of the source directory, "Finance", in this case. The new structure will create a new folder each new year and subdirectories each month of that source folder. Each new month, a new folder is created and the entire Finance folder is archived. Each night at 1 am, the default backup time, any changes to the archive folder is updated. Therefore, at the end of each month, a copy of everything in that folder is preserved. I do not do this for many folders, just the very important folders, since it creates so many copies. Target directory: C:\Users\Don\Documents\Finance\\Month\ The portion"Month" will create a new folder each month, such as "Month01" for January, and so on in a folder for the current year, such as "2010".

Re: [JAWS-Users] Kill JAWS
Hi all, - there may be a misunderstanding in this thread... The JawsKey+F4, and WindowsKey+JawsKey+F4, are not 2 different ways of doing the same thing. The JawsKey+F4 is used in normal situations when you want a normal shut down of Jaws for any reason. - it provides a confirmation prompt, & allows you to continue the shut down or not. The WindowsKey+JawsKey+F4 method is for when Jaws is experiencing a problem, & can not be shut down sufficiently by the above method, in order to be able to reload jaws & carry on working. In some situations, when Jaws has crashed, or another process has crashed Jaws, you can use WindowsKey+JawsKey+F4 to shut down Jaws and all its associated processes, thus allowing it to be restarted in the usual way without rebooting. Note, it does not always work, but saves a lot of time when it does. This method also causes an error reporting file to be created, and if asked by FS support, can be emailed to them to assist in analysing the initial problem.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Placing a file in enu
Hi Vicki, One easy way to gain access to the different Jaws .enu folders is: Start menu. programs, then hit J until you find the Jaws version you are currently using, then right arrow and you will be on Explore Jaws subMenu. Then right arrow again and you will be in a list of .enu folders that Jaws uses. these are: Explore My Settings, the folder where scripts, dictionary & graphic files etc which have been changed or added by you, or are specific to your machine. Explore Program files, the folder where the actual files that run Jaws are kept, & sometimes extras are added. Explore Shared settings, the folder where scripts, dictionary & graphic files etc which came with Jaws are kept. These were put here when the version was installed and are referred to as the default settings for the different programs. Unless specifically instructed, these files should not be changed, & additional files should not be added to this folder. Explore the manuals, this is the last one in the list on my system. If it is a script file, the first letter of the file extension is usually J, then it should go in the folder reached by hitting enter on, Explore my settings. If you post the name of the file, or files, then someone may be able to advise where it should go... Regards, Paul from Aust. - Original Message - From: "Vicki Wherry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, I'm not sure exactly what it is. I assume it's a script. It's to aid with the V.I.P communicator. I also found an enu folder under all users.

Re: [JAWS-Users] problem making a new hotkey stick
Hi Jason and list, I found the same hot key problem on moving up to version 9. Using the same method as you, except for hitting the apply button, attaching a hot key has worked fine since Jaws 3.3. With version 9 though, I found that if I simply pressed the 9, then continued around to the ok button, without going back to check that the control + alt had been added, then it stuck. The installation process went fine for me. Regards, Paul from Aust - Original Message - From: "Baracco, Andrew W" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Jason, I also find that I cannot do this with JAWS. I have to unload JAWS, run Window Eyes, and perform the operation. Then the hot key will stick, and I can then unload WE and run JAWS using the new hot key. This has been the case with JAWS for as long as I can remember, and it is not machine specific either. Andy -Original Message- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jason smith Hi list, I just got around to installing my copy of Jaws 9 on my desktop. I had to request a new disk copy from FS, as the original one mailed to me wasn't working. I finally got Jaws 9 installed. I did notice that Jaws was a bit sluggish during installation. For example, wouldn't always announce things like "press enter or the spacebar to continue" etc. In addition(unlike previous versions) I wasn't prompted to install the training materials until after I had finished the installation and asked to reboot. The problem I am now having, is making a hotkey to start Jaws stick. What I am doing is as follows. 1 go to desktop and find Jaws 9. 2 press context key. 3 arrow up once and enter on properties. 4 tab to the define new hotkey section.5 type the number 9. 6 tab and shift tab to check that it reads "control alt 9" for the hotkey. 7 tab to the apply button and press enter or spacebar. 8 tab to the okay button. 9 reboot the computer, to make sure the change has taken effect. However, when I do insert F4 to unload Jaws and then try the hotkey, nothing happens. However, my old hotkey of control alt J for Jaws 8, obviously still works. Have I missed a step somewhere, or am I doing something else wrong? thanks Jason Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [JAWS-Users] AddHook function
Hi Janne, Rather than the AddHookFunction, which I think may not be suited for your purpose, consider the following. If you simply want a script to stop part way through, so you can examine the screen contents at that point, insert the following line at the point in your script where you want it to stop. IF 1 THEN RETURN ENDIF; for testing only and semi colon out the line when not needed. If you want to examine the contents of some variables part way through a script, and perhaps after continueing the scripts operation for some more lines, then again look at the variable values, try the following method. Just call this function from where you want to check the values... Note. in the below sample copied from one of my script sets, the variables are integers, but you can soon simplify it for strings. It uses the virtual buffer, but instead, you could use the MessageBox function passing in, CurrentValues. include "common.jsm" ; for virtual buffer... Function ListVariables () ; lists the current value of particular variables. Used for debugging VAR STRING CurrentValues ; Note the \N causes a new line, otherwise it would all be on 1 line LET CurrentValues = "CharWidth = " + IntToString (G_CharWidth) + "\NOnePoint5CharSquared = " + IntToString (G_OnePoint5CharSquared) + "\NRowHeight = " + IntToString (G_RowHeight) + "\NHalfRowHeight = " + IntToString (G_HalfRowHeight) + cScBufferNewLine + cScBufferNewLine + cMsgBuffExit If UserBufferIsActive () then UserBufferDeactivate () EndIf Pause () SayFormattedMessage (OT_USER_BUFFER, CurrentValues) EndFunction As mentioned in an earlier post, the JawsScripting list may be a better forum for this type of enquiry... Regards, Paul from Aust. - Original Message - From: "Datapunkt Info" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello list. I am new to this list. I am interested in script programming and have a question. In a script I am writing on, i need the script to just stand still and check my keyboard entries an compare them to different string variables. I think that the AddHook () would be the thing to use. I have read the documentation and have looked at it in the default.jss file but i can't really understand it. If anyone on this list can make my small brain to understand how to use it, please help me.
