[jawsscripts] FS Reader Script Help

Hi all

I'm using Freedom Scientific's FS reader to read some daisy material, but 
I've come across a very annoying problem I'd like to resolve with a script 
change---I've attached the error message below. For those who have ever used 
FS reader, the control P command plays and pauses audio daisy books. The 
problem is that when the user must play and pause often, the user ends up 
having to find his or her way over to the control plus P keystroke which 
becomes very cumbersome after a while. I thought rather than to have to put 
of with this hassle, maybe I would be able to write or tweak a script that 
will allow me to change the FS reader play pause command from control P 
keystroke to the numpad 5. If anyone out there can help me reconfigure the 
play pause keystroke script, I will then change the numpad left and right 
arrows to rewind and forward so that I can read any daisy book with my three 
fingers via numpad numbers 4, 5 and 6. I'm sure those of you who have used 
FS reader can see the simple logic and incredible comfort this hotkey/script 
can provide a daisy book reader. The problem is that I'm given the following 
error message when I try to assign my new hotkey via Jaws keyboard manager:

"Keystroke In Use
NumPad5 is already assigned to SayCharacter in C:\Documents and Settings\...
 Freedom Scientific\JAWS\6.0\... DEFAULT.JKM.  Continuing will replace the
existing assignment.
OK Cancel"

As you can see there is a keyboard conflict I'm coming across. I understand 
why the keyboard conflict is happening as the numpad five is also the key 
jaws uses for say current character. This is also very problematic in that 
when placing a personal note within FS reader using the control plus letter 
B, if I press the numpad 5 to play and or pause, I will also be invoking the 
say current character command.

the question I have is... Is there a way of getting jaws to used the numpad 
4, 5, and 6 to rewind, play/pause, and forward respectively as I read a 
book, then once I would like to place a personal note within a daisy book by 
using control letter B I can have these keys revert back to their default 
actions of sayPreviousCharacter, Play/pause, and SayNextCharacter scripts? 
In other words, I want to script the default playback functionality, then 
have the original FS reader functionality kick in after I press control B to 
place a bookmark. this sounds very, very possible, but I can't think of how 
to make this happen as I'm still a preschool scriptor. For those who want to 
try this out for yourselves, just launch FS reader from the jaws menu within 
Programs. Open one of the jaws tutorials and press control P to play and 
pause the daisy tutorial. You can then press control plus letter B to place 
a bookmark. As you will soon find, to do what I want I need to be able to 
get jaws to shut off my numpad 4, 5, and 6 personal keyboard tweak to then 
type in my bookmarks using default text entry and jaws reading command. If 
anyone out there can help and you need more clarification, please feel free 
to let me know.
