Hello BOB,
All that does is call a script named SayWindowTypeAndText, and that is a
built-in function, so it is done internally. That function reads the title
of the window, the text within that window, and any other related info--far
to much data to hear with each list selection!
Thanks,
Dennis Brown, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
