Hi Hayden, When it comes to the Jaws scripting language it helps to have a basic understanding of the Windows Win32 API which those scripts are based on. If you don't hunder stand things like hindow handles etc then you need to study the Win32 API or pay for one of the Freedom Scientific scripting classes where this stuff is explained in more detail. Fortunately, for me I already had C++ incolledge and had read my fair share of books on the Win32 API long before I started working with Jaws scripting so there was absolutely no confusion for me. So what you found to be a nightmare was prety easy for me. This is where having some skill in a language like C++ is very handy bcause pretty much everything leads back to it sooner or later. Just depends on how advanced you want to get with your programming project.
