Hi DC,\ If you look at the default scripts, check out the jss files for the various things included in the use statements at the top. The names contain helper in them. Maybe those files will give you some ideas. Thanks.

I am absolutely styfled here. I am trying to find a way to obtain sign ins with a client called miranda so that I can be notified when somebody signs in like msn or yahoo do. I must have been away from scripting longer than I thought because I am absolutely off my class on this one. Basicly I need to find the window where the notifications are displayed in the system tray, and then have them displayed to the user with a hot key or out loud immediately. For those of you who have worked with skype and or other messingers, I would appreciate tips on how to work this out. tia D C __________ Visit and contribute to The JAWS Script Repository http://jawsscripts.com View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts __________ Visit and contribute to The JAWS Script Repository http://jawsscripts.com View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts
