Re: [JAWS-Users] an interactive JAWS script
I started out by reading the manual some years ago. Unfortunately I'm not as much of a script writer as I would like to be at this point. The window status script and a couple of others exactly which ones escape me at this moment are posted on the server. This interactive deal was my own idea, I just had to find the code for creating the menu and what it took to code the if statement. The idea of placing everything in modules the way the tutorial explains it comes from my training as a Cobol programmer, more years ago than I care to admit.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Total Recorder and JAWS
getting a USB sound card or headphones (both will work)would be far cheaper than this and is not so hard to do.
