I forgot to tell you.  I'm going off of the keyboard shortcuts for the program. 
 I haven't finished yet. I still need to write the ones for each device.  I 
stopped twoards the end of the sequencer shortcuts.

  One of the issues will be how to determine all these different items. What do 
you rely on to do it. Color? Does the program have a hidden window (like sonar) 
where these changes are reported? Is there some kind of access plat form like 
UI automation in place? These might be questions you might want to ask 
propellhead, it'll make life easier, than having to write custom code in jaws 
for it to try and figure out which window is open or not open.  You could 
always look for uniuque class ID's on screen, or take window handles and go 
that way, but that is then assuming that those windows use static handles or 
ID's etc.
  Another important issue is to give some kind of access to these windows. For 
example, when you press down/up arrow, for jaws to report what track/instrument 
you are focused on etc.
  I'm sure there's more stuff that has to be looked into, but these are my 
first impressions from reading your text (which is a good start by the way!). 
I've played a little with the program, though I confess I was looking more at 
the sounds and what's new then at accessibility.. When I have more time I'll do 
some poking around with the script utility tool to see what I can find...

  HTH, D!J!X!

  Here is what I want to call the jaws scripts for reason.  I started writing 
some ideas in notepad.  They aren't done yet  I don't know how to write scripts 
yet but I thought I would share this with everyone.  Let me know what you think.
