Hi Barbara,
Assuming that you are using Doug Lee's scripts revision 653 and Skype
version 3.8, You should be able to do the following:
Press JawsKey+whatever number on the top row places you in the history tab.
Use your cursor keys to select the chat you wish to review and press enter.
This will open a new chat window.
Now, you should be able to use alt+number keys on the top row to read the
chat entries where the most recent entry is alt+1.
Remember to close the chat window and revert to the contacts tab using
control+1 when you have finished in order to save yourself confusion later.
HTH,
Phil Medway

Subject: [jaws-uk] Skype Chats
I am using JAWS 9, the latest release of Skype and the Skype scripts.
When I am in a Skype chat rather than a voice conversation, I am having
difficulty in reading the message log and wondered if anyone else was having
similar problems. When I tab to the message history view, JAWS will announce
the time and date of the first message and read that message, but that's
all. If I try to use the cursors to read up and down the window, nothing is
spoken. To read the messages I have to use the JAWS cursor, but of course
theis doesn't read everything and often with all the other things it reads
only a few lines of messages is in view and usually the first few lines.
Any tips?
Thanks.
Barbara
