How can a beginner accomplish this for Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word?
I had minor trouble with the Homer Script set as a whole, but this specific
feature is brilliant. Is it a matter of finding a specific search string in
the script file and copying it over to the application-specific script file?
If so, which script file would you take it from? Thanks to all of you,
Jamal in particular, for making JAWS that much more accessible.

get a hold of the scripts for Jamal's homer scripts application
and you could undoubtedly modify the block selection script he
made for this use, basically with these scripts installed you
can use any text editor, hit f8 at the beginning of something
you wish to select, then line, read, arrow, or page down or use
a go to function to arrive at a later spot, hit shift f8 and
the entire block will be selected and you can use regular
commands to affect the selected area.
sounds fairly close to me, eh?
there is a link for the homer scripts on my grab bag site (URL
under my name below) on the jaws scripting page.
