Not sure what your system does with the documentation .txt file, but
just FYI, I tend to put .htm documentation files in scripts I write,
linking them to a double press of JAWSKey+F1.

OK. I've fixed a couple bugs discovered through that feedback (same URL
for March 26 version). A problem is caused by the Merge radio button
being checked. The documentation now makes clear that it should not be
checked for the new merge method, which relies on the comment line at the
top of a .jss file instead. I have also made JSX first look for a
documentation file with the same root name as the zip archive, so you can
be sure that file will display if you have multiple .jss files. Let me
know your results if you uncheck the merge option before creating your
executable and if you name your .txt file like your .zip archive.
