Hey folks i'am element educator of scripting for JAWS. so please being patient of my primary questions. i was attempting to creat new script for the notepad text edditor. and did the following steps: launched the notepad from the run dialog box. pressed insert plus ziro to launch the script manager. pressed control plus E to start new script. pressed control plus home to reach the top of the page. wrote the script name: test2 and it's including the following: Script test2 () ( TextSelectedEvent () say string HI say HI EndScript and then i chosed the following keystroke combination to assign to this particular one. control plus = officialy: pressed control plus S to compile and ending the scripting operation. but it did not compiled. showed me an arror message that cannot complete the compiling. actually i don't know what that does. and when i tried to active the selected assigned keystroke combination, it spoken the following with lowest pitch, heard how does JAWS cursor sound like? unknown script called to: test then speak it by characters in the similar case. please guide me to the correct scripting commands. before submitting this email message, i wish to ask about the following expressions: one: Parameters. two: Synopsis. three: string. and: Inheritance. am looking forward to hear from each other. i know that i can read the basic of scripting document that freedomscientific designed, but i've been recognized in quitely that the practical aspect is more necessary then orals and memorizing. go a head and discuss whatever scripting issue altogether. it doesn't matter whichever level we talk about, but the most important issue which we must focus on, that each other have benifits from the list.
