Ha, I was using a page that never got updated past 42B. This is fantastic.

Thanks

Take care,
Sina

I released scripts that work with 5.0 beta 2 minutes after the beta itself went 
live.  I announced this on the SkypeEnglish mailing
list and, I hope, in my Skype mood text for a while.  I don't remember if the 
announcement was cross-posted by anyone elsewhere.
The scripts are at http://www.dlee.org/skype/ per usual.

My mood text now announces a Clisk update, but that's not scripting related. :)

Just to add on to this thread. The latest update to the skype 5 beta broke the 
scripts. Now alt+1 says chat widget instead of
reading the text.
 
Take care,
Sina

I fixed that long ago for both Skype script releases (3.8 and 4/5), so the 
easiest solution is probably to go get an update for your
Skype version from http://www.dlee.org/skype/

The cause of this problem, by the way, is that the word "descending"
became part of the JAWS script language starting in JAWS 11, so anyone using 
that word as a variable, parameter, etc., will get that
error.
The solution is just to rename the offending variable.  In the Skype scripts, 
it's now "sortDescending."
