Well, Tom, 1st, u need to be certain that where you're at actually accepts characters, i.e., is in an edit field. Next, U need to do something like: JawsCursor() RouteJawsToPc() MoveToFrame("areacode") etc. The reason for that is your jaws cursor could be anywhere, unable to move to the frame, & u didn't test for success or failure. Remember that MoveTo() functions return integers, e.g., 1 for true & 0 for false, so: if (MoveToFrame("areacode") then typeString(sAreacode) else saystring("could not move to frame") endif Saystring() is no longer standard, & shouldn't be used for scripts you'll distribute to others, but for debugging purposes, it's ok. But I really think your problem may well be that you're not in an edit field.
