Not sure how better to explain. :) Other languages, including some
Pascal implementations, used compiler directives inside comments as
well as a means of controlling things. The comment character is part
of the syntax, so that older JAWS versions don't trip over the line.

But, umm... I don't understand, because doesn't the semicolon denote that
the text following it is a comment, in which it is ignored by the compiler?
Please explain the answer so I can understand better.

For this particular line, the leading semicolon is part of the line,
and it was designed that way so older JAWS versions won't trip over
the line while newer ones can still obey it.

Do you leave in the ; at the beginning of the line? Doesn't that tell Jaws
to ignore that whole line?
Keep in mind FS support is not made up of scripters. They are in a
completely different part of the building.

Excellent, this worked like a charm.
Thank you very much. FS tech support didn't fill me in on that little trick.

Add the following line to the top of your scripts to make them work properly
in JAWS 13 and JAWS 12 and below:
;#pragma StringComparison partial
This is how they fixed this issue. JAWS 13 natively makes == and other
comparison operators, when comparing strings, compare the whole string, not
just through the end of the shortest one. This is like most other languages
out there, but it breaks things like checking for a RichEdit control by
comparing getWindowClass(hwnd) to "RichEdit,"
since RichEdit window classes tend to be longer (e.g., "RichEdit20W").

Man, I hope they fix that, it's kind of a big show stopper.
