Hi Daniel,
    Check in hour downloads folder.  I just tried it on my system.  You might 
not think it downloaded, but it ends up in your downloads folder.  Since it's a 
script, you get no indication that it was downloaded.  In other words, if it 
was a document, Text Edit would open, or if it's the audio demonstrations, 
they'd start playing.

     You can put it in the VoiceOver folder or the scripts folder.  The 
important thing is to remember where you coped it so when you use keyboard 
commander to set up the shortcut, you can find it.


Take Care
