Hi Mark, its is unfortunate that you are taking Jackie's words as purely
criticism. There is a great deal of knowledge and experience on this list that
we all benefit from.
In order to tap into this great knowledge pool you do need to do your homework
and study the basics otherwise we can't really help. If you try studying the
scripting manual and have questions I am sure you can find some on the list who
can help you understand concepts that you are struggling with.
If you want to learn scripting or any programming language you need to take it
one step at a time and work through the exercises. Only in this way can you
learn to script.
Good luck
Tom Bisset

Hi Jackie,
Your comments are in fact extremely discouraging. I fully admit that when
I read the basics of scripting manual as I did a few years back, it was way
over my head. I was so happy to find this E-Mail list where a person could come
and learn from the experts without feeling embarrassed by one's appalling lack
of knowledge. Well, now after your comments I am feeling like I need to avoid
posting on this list again. This is very sad because I have learned allot over
time by asking questions on this list.
Mark
God Loves you!

Mark, this is in no way trying to be either nasty or discouraging, but
your code & your questions lead me to believe u really do not have a
good understanding of scripting basics. Unfortunately, if u intend to
do any degree of scripting, such understanding really is essential.
Scripters need to understand cursors, focus, data types, constants,
variables, window handles--& a lot more. In addition, when the
compiler calls ralph due to a syntax error, scripters need to know how
to interpret what the compiler is saying & fix the mistake.
I know it's tempting to just dive right in & start scripting. I really
do urge, though, that u instead take the time to read the basics of
scripting manual & work the exercises. Your program will be waiting
when you're done, & u will have gained a significant understanding of
Jaws scripting in the process. It'll be an investment of time that
will return dividends in spades.
I know--I know--patience is a virtue; find it where u can; usually
found in women, hardly ever found in men. Please do be patient,
though, & acquire the understandings u need. Then, when u start
scripting for real, you'll have a foundation of rock on which to
build, & not merely shifting sand. It's not what u wanted to hear, I
know--but it is what u need to hear, Mark.
I wish u every success in your scripting endeavors.

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