Actually, I didn't write the script, I copied it from the default script file 
within JAWS 8.

I then commented out the beep commands using the ";" semicolon.

The double "|" vertical bar symbols basically means "OrElse" in the scripting 
language. You get this symbol by holding down the shift key, and pressing the 
backslash key.

Hope this helps,

  Brian,

  reading down through your generously provided script out of curiosity to see 
  how it's written, I noticed that there is a sequence of lines that seem to 
  begin with what Jaws describes as single and double vertical lines. Are 
  these part of the necessary syntax in the script, for one thing, rather than 
  leftover beginning-of-line markers in the email? And, if they're on purpose, 
  how do you create them? With capital I? Or some other key?

  Thanks.

  Found it. If you want to remove that annoying beep in JAWS8, just do this...
  Open your script manager, and press control+shift+d to open the default 
  file.
  1. Look for the script pasted below.
  2. Place the cursor within the function, and press control+r to select the 
  script, then Delete to remove it.
  3. Put the below script in its place, by copying and pasting it. I've 
  already commented out all of the 'beep' commands, so it will work correctly.
  4. Press control+s to compile the file, and then close the window.
  That should do the trick. Enjoy.

  void function ProcessBoundaryStrike(handle hWnd, int edge)
  var
  int iType
  if lvIsCustomized(hWnd) then
  ; Beep ()
  return
  endIf
  Let iType = GetWindowSubTypeCode(hWnd)
  if iType == wt_MultiLine_edit then
  ; Beep()
  return
  EndIf
  if !iType
  && IsVirtualPCCursor() then
  ; Beep()
  return
  EndIf
  if iType == WT_MULTISELECT_LISTBOX
  || iType == WT_EXTENDEDSELECT_LISTBOX
  || iType == WT_LISTBOX
  || iType == WT_LISTVIEW
  || iType == WT_BUTTONLISTBOX
  || iType == wt_TreeView
  || iType == wt_TreeViewItem then
  ; Beep ()
  Return
  endIf
  EndFunction

    Bryan,
    I asked this question awhile back, but never got any answer.

    i, too, find it annoying.

    I am still using Money 98, and in the register section, Jaws 8 makes that 
  idiot sound every time I arrow up and down through the list of transactions.

    This never occurred in previous versions of Jaws.

    Crystal
