Actually, it was always been there. I remember doing that with JAWS 6.2 and earlier versions as well.

Since JAWS Version 7, you can use the "Run" command and type
"JAWS", followed by the version number (with no spaces or
punctuation marks, such as a period for "dot"), of JAWS you want
to run (assuming that the version of JAWS you want to run is
installed on your computer, of course). Try one of the following
examples:
jaws7
jaws71
jaws8
jaws9
jaws10
followed by pressing ENTER, to start JAWS for the first time in a
Windows session (that is if you did not have JAWS set to start
automatically, when Windows starts), or to restart JAWS if you had
to unload JAWS for a particular reason.

Thanks Dave, I wasn't aware of that. I tried it and had to type
JAWS71, so it looks like you need to put in the version number
without any periods.

Presumably you terminate Jaws using Insert f4 and attempt to
restart using alt control j or your own substitute hotkey?
Have you checked the shortcut on the desktop to ensure that
(A) Alt control j or your own substitute is correctly assigned
as the shortcut key
(B) The path to the required version of Jaws is correctly
defined as the Target.

Re: statement when jaws starts ---
I say, this has been a jolly good and interesting thread
indeed. And when I have the time, I intend to try it, see if
it might just put a little life into my JAWS startup.
Now, I wonder if anyone can say something about this as it
relates to another JAWS startup issue...
When in my house we start and stop JAWS, is this a problem?
My wife who is sighted will turn it off, then I turn it back
on again, you see.
I wondered if this creates issues for a pc.
On another, older desktop pc we have, the problem is on that
one, that if I ever do close JAWS, it will not restart, not
without a reboot.
Can you think of why this might be so?
On all my systems I am up to date with using the latest JAWS
version and updates. And I am using XP Pro for my OS.
Thanks in advance for any info and suggestions.

I had the same error.

replace the first line of the script you coppied with the one
below.
just change the name from Rob to your name.
Say ("Welcome Rob,", OT_message)
it seems that a coma after the quote sign was missing.

Alice, my instructions are very much the same as what
Bob posted. His were better in point form, but I have
posted the instructions I use below, which I believe I
got from the old jfwlite list. I added the first line
as a welcome message but you certainly can omit this
first line. If you do want to have a message you can
put whatever you want in here. Hope this helps and if
you want write me off the list at:

Announce Jaws version number and Date and Time on Load
If you have more than one version of Jaws on your
system, sometimes it is easy to get confused what
version is loaded. This script will say the number of
Jaws that you are using, plus it will say the date and
time when you first load jaws.
Press jaws key+0
press control+shift+d to get to the default script file,
Press control L for the script list and arrow down to
AutoStartEvent and enter. You are now in the auto
start event script
arrow down to the line that says
let DefaultFirstTime = 1
Go to the end of that line and enter and after that
line paste in the following lines. Of course change
the version number to reflect the version and build of
Jaws you are making the script change for.
Say ("Welcome Shannon , ")
Say ("Version 10", OT_message)
Say ("Loaded on", OT_Message)
SayUsingVoice (VCTX_PCCursor, SysGetDate (),
OT_No_Disable)
Say ("at", OT_Message)
SayUsingVoice (VCTX_PCCursor, SysGetTime (),
OT_No_Disable)
Then press control S to compile the script and alt f4
to leave the script manager.
