[jawsscripts] DOM assignments in JAWS Scripts

Good Evening, 
I have been playing around with manipulating Internet Explorer DOM objects in a 
JAWS script.  I have noticed that JAWS seems to be able to handle only one 
level at a time.  Therefore, I accomplished what I wanted with a series of 
assignments.  I have never programmed DOM objects in an object oriented 
language,  or any other language for that matter.  Is this normal?  Am I doing 
something wrong?  An example is included below of a online DVR Scheduler search 
page.  

; Empty Search page has:  
; testInput search field, "Title & Description" (byTitle) and "Channel"  
(byChannel ) buttons
let oDoc = ieGetCurrentDocument ()
Let sURL = oDoc.url ; Creates the URL of the current page

; JAWS can not seem to assign directly like:
; Let oDoc.forms(0).testInput.value = sProgram

Let oForm = oDoc.forms(0) ; the only form with an edit field and two buttons
Let oButton = oDoc.buttons(0) ; first button, "byTitle"
Let oEditField = oForm.testInput
; Is this the same as:
; Let oEditField = oForm("testInput")
Let oEditField.value = sProgram
