Hi Rui,

  As I said in my last post, these scripts are not the complete answer for
your problem, but they may give you a start.

  The lines SayString (GetCharacter ()) and PerformScript
SayNext/PriorCharacter()
 in the two arrow scripts seem to have no effect at all.

  Martin...

Globals
  int iToggle
Script toggleState ()
  Let iToggle = not iToggle
  ;SayInteger (iToggle, 10)
EndScript

Script improvedRightArrow ()
  If (iToggle) Then
    TypeKey ("Shift+RightArrow")
    ; SayString ("selected ")
    SayString (GetCharacter ())
  Else
    PerformScript SayNextCharacter()
  Endif
EndScript

Script improvedLeftArrow ()
  If (iToggle) Then
    TypeKey ("Shift+LeftArrow")
    ;SayString ("unselected ")
    SayString (GetCharacter ())
  Else
    PerformScript SayPriorCharacter()
  Endif
EndScript
