[jawsscripts] Re: FormatString function usage

FormatStringWithEmbeddedFunctions returns the string you pass it after
it translates any function calls in angle brackets into their return
values.  The following input strings result in the indicated outputs:

My name is <getUserName()>
Returns "My name is Doug" on my machine.

<getWindowType(65556)
"Desktop" on this machine.

<getWindowClass(getFocus())>
"Invalid window handle" or "" depending on JAWS version

The last example is not allowed; no nested calls.  You also can't do
things like <3+4>, refer to variables, or do anything with objects or
by-reference parameters.  Still, it's a cool function.
