Ok, I will try that.
Yes, I think that's the problem, but I don't know what kind of information is looking Jaws for in the program.

In that case, it seems that JAWS is not recognizing what application has
the active window.  Perhaps the executable created by perlapp does not
include some standard information that JAWS expects.  Maybe try
compileing as a console or Windows executable (whichever you did not
try) and see if that makes a difference.

Ok, but in which script should I put that function?
If I press Insert+F2, then hit enter on script manager when that program has 
the focus, it opens the Jaws script for Outlook Express or for Windows
Explorer or whatever application had the focus before.
I've tried to put some combinations in confignames.ini with no results.
