Hi Dennis:
I keyed in the script rather than copy it over via clipboard, but I got the
same compile error as before about expecting window type int not string. One
differece is that my assigned hotkey does not say "unknown script called to
copy text from screen" as before. It simply announces the key values when
pressed this time.
