Hi,John,
The Jonathan Mosan tutoiral was made when skype 2.5 was the current
version and skype 2.6 was in beta.
It is a good tutorial and some of the basic concepts certainly still
apply. You did not tell us, however, which version of skype you are
using. the skype interface underwent several major changes over the
year. the most current tutorial I know of is for skype 4.x. It can be found at
http://www.skype.com/
this is a free tutorial but quite good. it is probably the closest to
the current 5.x skype version even though skype's interface has
changed again some between the 4.x and 5.x cycle.
Skype is usable without scripts as it has inbuilt accessibility.
However, the skype scripts do make it easier to get around skype and
provide such features as automatic reading of chat messages..
I personally would try skype without scripts first and get familiar
with the program's layout, inbuilt keyboard shortcuts menus and such
and then go and get the scripts appropriate for your version of skype.
Happy skyping!

Is it still necessary to download the scripts designed for making Skype more
accessible?
Or, are the current jaws versions already equipped with those scripts?
I'm a real beginner with Skype. I'm just learning it but I'm using a
tutorial which is a couple of years old. That's why I'm asking about
downloading those scripts The tutorial recorded by Jonathan Mozen is quite
extensive but I'm beginning to wonder how much of it applies to the current
versions of Skype.
I have Skype on my computer already. It comes with Windows 7. I'd
certainly appreciate any help regarding this project, either on or off list.
