Re: statement when jaws starts

sorry I wasn't specific enough.

the script lines are inserted right before the End FUnction statement that 
follows the 
void function autoStartEvent
statement.

Just arrow down until you find the END Function
statement

  It's still not working for me.  It works for Jaws 8, but not for Jaws 10.
  there are several EndFunction statement, above which one do I need to paste 
the script? 

  Thanks for your help.

    TRACEY AND Others,

    Here's the exact instructions from Bob Verity. They work if you follow the 
steps.

    with JAWS loaded:

    1. press JAWS key 0 to go to the script editor
    2.  press shift control D to bring up the default script
    3. locate the
    Void Function AutoStartEvent ()


    4. add the following lines just before the EndFunction statement



    SayString("Greetings John Smith , ")

    SayString("you are running Jaws version 7 point 0 0 point 1 3 5 U ,")

    saystring("Today is")

    Say ( SysGetDate(), ot_string)

    Say (SysGetTime(), ot_string)



    5. change John Smith to whatever you want and change the version number to 
    whatever version you are running



    6. save the script with control s

    It should compile correctly otherwise correct any errors and resave.

      I tried your suggestion but it's still not working.  I still think I'm 
pasting the lines in the wrong place.

        I had the same error.
        here is what I did to fix it.
        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.

        HTH

        Rob

          Good evening list, 

          I've been trying to change the message when Jaws starts but am 
getting the following error message.  Does anyone know what I may be doing 
wrong? 

          thanks in advance

          Tracy 

          Compile Error
           Function Say requires between 2 and 3 parameters not 1
          OK

            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:
            hannah74@xxxxxxx 
            Shannon 

            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.
