If so, I'm a= fraid there is no direct access to that from a JAWS script except via the N= av* functions in the language. That API is not COM-based like MSAA, so we = can't get at methods and properties and structures etc. directly from a JAW= S script. You could if you were to write a DLL to COM-wrap the interface I= suppose. Apologies if you're referring to something else entirely.
