Hi JP:
Any suggested readings on very basics of Comm Programming?
I'm having Google mess mixing Comm up with Communications. Any Keywords, W3c
Keywords or url's that might help me get started setting up homework?
Also, if you have any tutorial url's could you let me know?
I'm trying to find out how to get started by Googling for now.

Rick,
I agree that this sounds promising. I just finished reading the introduction
to Window-Eyes scripting published by GW. Exposing Window-Eyes objects through
COM and letting the script writer choose the language they are comfortable with
certainly adds some flexibility. Of course it carries the responsibility of
being aware of your audience if you are writing scripts you wish to share. I
could probably write some nice scripts in ruby or AutoIt (and will probably do
so for my own use) but for sharing, I'd want to make sure the script was
written in a language such as VBScript or JScript which I could expect anyone
to have installed. As for your question about .net managed code, I have written
other C# programs which accessed COM objects and the intro from GW says it will
be accessible from .net.
I think this was a very interesting design approach by GW Micro and will be
anxious to see how it pans out. Throwing out a scripting framework which lets
one use things like VBA, VBScript, JScript, and so on certainly opens the door
for the rapid growth of user written and contributed scripts.

Hi Gang:
WindowEyes is getting a Scripting Language, finally! OK, so they say it
will use Com Automation and various languages can be used with the default
language VB Script.
First, I know some of you are really good with such thingys as Com
Automation having done accessibility work. Is there some good starting points
on learning to write scripts, or they say we can use compiled programs like
c++, and Com Automation?
What about the Managed Code of Vb.net?
I have always used Windoweyes but it needed some fixes in applications like
Visual Studio and some Internet Controls weren't accessible, oh ya, java script
sometimes gave it fits.
I'm kind of excited.
