Not always. Give it a try, and you'll see that it handles situations that were not always evident. For example in a list of files in Windows Explorer you can copy the file, but not the name. Or you can use a plug-in to copy the file name. However with this script you can copy the entire line of information that is normally spoken by JAWS, which would include the file size, date, etc. It really does give a lot more flexibility in what you can copy and paste.

After all, you could use the old Windows select and copy commands, or the JAWS copy and append commands to do the same thing. I'm just looking for why this script would be the better way? Thanks.
