Now you have a shell to start with. Typically the category area is just
left blank.
From here you have to start thinking of which functions or commands to start
working with, and then build them into the area between the script name and
the line with end script.

Martin. I pressed jaws key + 0 to create the new script file. I then pressed
control + E as you suggested. I was given a dialogue and I entered the
information below. Is this correct?
New Script
General Parameters
Script Name: SayDefinedWord
Can be attached to Key
Synopsis: Says the word WordWeb has defined
Description:
Category: Script
Assign To: Control+Shift+S
Function Returns:
Return
Description:
OK Cancel Help
After pressing enter I ended up with the following in my wWeb32.jss file:
Script SayDefinedWord ()
EndScript

That's a lot of questions <smile>. It's a lot less stressful for us if you
stick to one per email. Yes, you begin by creating a jss file for your
application, but that process is completely automatic. Have the application
running in the foreground and press JAWSKey + 0. That will open the script
manager with the appropriate jss file open. This will be blank if you
haven't written any scripts into it already. Control + e will then open up
a dialog with several fields to fill in. When you have done that, you will
find yourself back in the script manager with a skeleton script or function
set up ready for you to type code in.
See if you can get that far.
