I wasn't able to download the program without giving a whole lot of personal
detail I really did not want to do. However, you ought to be able to create a
very simple script to do what you want. When focused upon a link, go into home
row mode with insert and space bar, press F10 until jaws says type, then press
F9. Hopefully it will say "link". If so, in your code you could write
if GetObjectType ()== ("Link") then
; invoke the jaws cursor, do the cursor routing, and click. This is assuming
the routing is reliable enough.
endif
Any questions, let me know.

Hi,
ClickObjectByName works on MSAA objects, and was written for instances where
you need to click on an object like a tool bar item, etc.
For instance, I used this when writing the Windows Live Messenger/MSN
Messenger script set, and I wanted a keystroke to move the user to the
History window. It wouldn't be the best for your situation.
Just off the top of my head, what about the ClickAtPoint function?
ClickAtPoint(GetCursorCol(),GetCursorRow(),TRUE)
The True option tells it to use the JawsCursor.
Again, this is just off the top of my head.
Thanks,
Dennis Brown
