RE: getting the time and date with one press of insert f12

SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, "it is "+SysGetTime()+" "+SysGetDate(),
ot_No_Disable) 

Just put the above in desired script and assign keystroke to it. Easy as
pie.  E.G.

Script test ()
SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, "it is "+SysGetTime()+" "+SysGetDate(),
ot_No_Disable)
EndScript

Subject: getting the time and date with one press of insert f12

                Hi folks, I'm pretty sure this is a scripting issue, and
I've never 
been able to wrapp my mind around the scripting language, all accept 
for code that I've gotten from other folks and put to use 
myself.  But like the subject line says, I've noticed that other 
screenreaders give you the time and date with one press of a hot 
key.  With JAWS, you have to press insert f12 twice to do this.  So, 
is there a script, or some other type of modification I can make so 
that JAWS will say, 1:32 PM on August 27th, 2007?
Note the time I gave is my current time just as an example. I'm 
pretty sure this can be done, but I've never understood why JAWS 
doesn't do this too.

                        Thanks for any help.
