[jawsscripts] Re: FS Reader Script Help

Everett,

You just conveyed the equivalent of Chinese calculus with this explanation. 
(laughing). Like I stated, I'm still a beginner, but the good news is that 
you conveyed it was not impossible to do what I want which is a good thing. 
I will try to research as much as I am able to later tonight after work as 
well as this weekend. Hopefully I can continue to ask you for more help and 
feedback as I go along.

Matthew
