Version 298 of the scripts is at

http://www.dlee.org/jfw-skr298.zip

and also at the web site of the SkypeEnglish list moderator, though I
don't have that address handy.  Some people prefer version 275 of the
scripts, and that is at Chris Nestrud's web site, which is the site
that opens if you do a Ctrl+Shift+W from within Skype with the scripts
running.  Chris is the original author of the scripts from back in
2004 or so.

The link issue is being fixed within Skype itself I believe.  The
Options list problem is known, and I'm still not done with a release
that will fix that.

Thanks for your reply Doug.  I was speaking of the contact list.  In skype 
version 3.exe, skype does not read the list in options.  In otherwords, the 
view that goes from general to advanced to sound etc.  Jaws reads the info 
in these dialog boxes, butnot the list view that tells you what section of 
the dialog you're in.  Also there are several places in the program where 
jaws lands on a link such as in the sound devices section of options there 
is a link "learn how skype adjusts sound devices".  Something along those 
lines.  Jaws activates the link, but it can't identify the controll as a 
link. So you don't know what you're doing.  Where do you keep the scripts 
for skype now?  The only ones I dound worked for versions 1.x
thanks
