Doug, thanks! I've been going crazy as a new user trying to figure this out. I now understand.

Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Skype and the command mode? The command key is a prefix that lets you execute various functions in the Skype scripts without each needing a unique keystroke to run it. I documented it in release notes on my web site, http://www.dlee.org/skype/ but admittedly there is not currently a central manual explaining this feature. In the beta scripts for Skype 4, I did implement a way for you to Tab among the choices at each level. It sort of works like a menu system, so left bracket is like Alt, and you then hit letters to get to submenus until you get what you want. For example, [c1 will switch to the first open chat window, [n2 will read the second most recent notification, [cl will list open chats, etc. On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 04:59:28PM -0400, albert griffith wrote: What's the difference between the command mode and the way it was? I've never seen this in anything but dos prompts. I don't understand its function. I also aren't sure when or how to take advantage of this and don't see reference to it in the help files for Skype or jaws. Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
