Use the following line in your script:
PassKeyThrough()
{Escape}
and see what that does.

Thanks,
Dennis Brown

Hi David,

I can close the dialogue box from the keyboard using the escape key. For
some strange reason, this sequence does not work from a script. I am
baffled.

Yes maybe you will.

The escape will usually close a dialogue if the programmer has designed
it to be closed in that way.
However, it is quite possible that non standard controls were used or
perhaps the control's properties were not set so that pressing the
escape key would close the dialogue.

Hi Robin and Dennis,

Thanks for your responses. The whole idea of passing the escape key to
the
application is to close an open dialogue. This does not appear to work
from
a script.

Am I going to have to find the close button and activate it?

Regards,
Jim

Sorry, I mis read your post. This was to use the Escape key as opposed
to
"press" it. My apologies. I see Dennis has given the response needed.

Hi. It is recommended that you do not use this key. However, if you
must go
to keyboard manager Jaws +8 then go to options. Arrow down to hot keys.
Here
you will find hot keys that you should really think seriously  about
using.
If you must then  arrow down to the escape key and check it. Tab to the
ok
button. Now you will be able to use the escape key in a script.

Again, exercise caution when making scripts attached to these specific
hot
keys.
Robin

Hi Listers,

I was just wondering. If I want to have a script hit the "Escape" key,
how
do I do it?
