Thanks Travis for this suggestion.  I tried the "use" statement with great 
excitement, but it seemed that the keys assigned to my scripts were not 
imported to the Internet Explorer script.  Maybe they should have been, and 
I did something wrong.

The scripts I have added to Internet Explorer all perform custom navigation 
commands on some particular web pages I use frequently.  There are 5 
scripts, and each is assigned to keys unused by the default Explorer script.

Each time I receive a new release of Jaws, I copy my custom scripts to the 
new default Explorer script.  It does not really take that long, but I wish 
I could avoid having to go and manually edit the descriptions and key 
assignment for each script.

If anyone has a suggestion how I can simplify importing the scripts, please 
let me know.  Maybe the "use" command should have worked, and I screwed it 
up.

Many thanks,
Tom

You can compile your scripts into their own files and then add a "use" line
to the internet explorer default scripts and recompile.
Or do this in reverse, rename the shipping IE scripts to something else,
name your scripts to the same as the original default scripts, and have your
scripts use the "use" statement to call the renamed scripts. Then recompile
this code with each version release.
It depends on if you are overriding any default scripts which order.
If your scripts are not overriding any default functionality then it should
not matter what order you do it.

All,

Excuse the naivete of my question, as I have limited knowledge about Jaws
scripting.

I long ago added some additional functions to the script files FS delivers
for Internet Explorer.  Each time I update IE, or JFW, I manually re-add
these functions to the FS scripts file, and recompile them.

Is there a more prefered way of doing this, rather than using my manual
method?  Perhaps there is some include method or merge method I should be
using?

Thanks in advance for any pointers,
Tom
