[jawsscripts] Re: Sending a string of tedxt to Braille display with JAWS 9.0 and non-FS Braille displays

Victor, I am using jaws 9.0 and what you suggested does not appear to
work.=20
I have the display set to structured mode.

I created the DisplayMyBrailleLine function as you suggested  in an
empty script set for notepad and I then called the function from a
script.

When the function runs, nothing appears on the display.

My code follows

include "hjconst.jsh"

Script test ()
DisplayMyBrailleLine()
EndScript

Void Function DisplayMyBrailleLine()
BrailleAddString("I am now being displayed", 0, 0, 0)=20
return true
EndFunction

No, you could say:

Void Function DisplayMy BrailleLine()
BrailleAddString("I am now being displayed", 0, 0, 0) return true
EndFunction

And it will work!
