See subject "Finding The Script in the Dot j s s File" coming soon on Begin-JFW-Script Question: What learning tags should I put in the Screen Sensitive Help script? Answer: The short answer is "lots and lots". Eventually you will want many tags. The first speaking tag that I would put in is a "Hello" tag to announce the start of the script each time it is executed. This tag also assures you that you are using the correct Screen Sensitive Help script. If you do not hear the tag during testing, then you have probably put the tag in the wrong dot j s s file. .See subject "Learning Tags, Where to put them." coming soon on Begin-JFW-Script Question: What is the least number of functions that I need to know well? Answer: None, you need not know any function well. You do not need to know them well to use them. You must be able to use these 4 built in functions: SayString Function, SayInteger Function, GetWindowSubTypeCode function, and GetCurrentWindow Function. These functions described soon on Begin-JFW-Script Lessons. --- Question: What is a "Get" function? Answer. JAWS uses a "Get" function to obtain information about the screen or about stored data or about the internal processes inside the computer. Question: What does JAWS do with the information it gets from a "Get" function? Answer: JAWS will do nothing with the information it gets from the function, unless you tell it to do something.with it. You use a different function to tell JAWS what to do with the information it got from the first function. In these lessons the "Say String" function and the "Say Integer" function tells JAWS what to do with the info it got from the "Get" functions. "Get" obtains the data. Then "Say" announces the data. Question: What scripts other than Screen Sensitive Help will we study in beginners lessons? Answer: We will study all of the sensitive help functions/scripts in the beginners lessons . There is a function for known classes and one for classes that are not known to JAWS.There is Screen Sensitive Help Technical. In addition to help scripts we will study Function Auto Start Event and Function Auto Finish Event. Lessons moderators Clif Gazaway - Visit the jfw ml web page: http://jfw.cjb.net
