Just a thought, but I'm wondering why your unwilling to share. If a person is learning something like this and your at least willing to give the warning that it may cause certain problems, then it's really up to them to proceed or not proceed with the information. If they make the file unusable, could they not repair jaws and go from there? I mean, at least to me, this seems to be a listserve where people can ask questions and learn from one another. It seems sort of odd to say yes you can do procedure X and then saying up front, I ain't tellin you how. That kind of responce sounds elitist at best and snobbish at worst. If your really worried about someone being angry at you if they don't do the procedure correctly, then just don't bring it up in the first place.
It just doesn't seem right for someone to decide what information another person can or can't comprehend and use effectively. We all get responces like this day in and day out from sighted people who second guess our abilities. Doesn't make sense to do the same sort of thing to each other here, too. We should all be adult enough to know our own level of comfort with our computer tinkering skills. And we should all be adult enough to know how to handle the consequences of anything we do decide to try. This is only my opinion on the matter. I know others might disagree and that's fine. I just wanted to put in my own two cents. > Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2009 15:27:30 -0500 > To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com > From: z200...@gmail.com > Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Scripting: Personal Jaws Startup > > you can't do it with scripting. it can only be done with a hex > editor, and no I won't tell you what file to do it to or what to look > for to remove it. > Because if you don't know what you are doing the file can be come unusable. > At 02:40 PM 2/2/2009, you wrote: > >Aha!
