[jawsscripts] Re: Getting text in an edit field

This is what I have done in the past.  However, I am essentially scraping a
screen that
has 8-10 of these edit fields and that method has been problematic at best.
There are timing
issues and it takes quite a bit of time.  I am storing the text from each
field in a variable for
subsequent input into another app.   I think a method involving SendMessage
or
something like this would be more reliable and quick.  However, I'm not sure
how to use this
method.  Documentation for Sendmessage is suprisingly sparse....
