Thanks Jackie.
Noted :)
I actually got it to work by changing TypeString(sAreaCode) to
TypeFormattedString(sAreaCode)
Thanks for your help!

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.

Blame the computer--why not? It can't defend itself & occasionally
might even be the culprit
