[jawsscripts] Re: How to capture text between two points in an editor?

I have no clue with jaws scripts, but I know both Jamal's text pal and ed 
sharp editors have built in keystrokes for doing this, it may be a case of 
using a editors to do this instead of jaws scripts.

if you wish to try it, and the source code for both applications is included 
with them, go to my grab bag site, and there under the useful software 
header about 2/3 the way down the page.

good luck,
