Re: name of the current program, as seen by Jaws

it doesn't seem to be if it's mapped in another dll--I linked against a .lib file and loaded a window found in another dll, and that still showed winapp.exe not sure what the deal is with that... possibly by thread, though I wouldn't think that was it. 
I'm going to keep playing with it, now you got me wanting to know. :)

Well, I am not very sure about that.
For example, if Outlook Express is opened, it doesn't appear as msoe.dll in Task Manager. It doesn't even appear in the list of processes.
If Notepad is opened, it appear as notepad.exe in Task Manager and Jaws sees it as notepad.exe.
But if a program that uses WxPerl is opened, it appears with its name in Task Manager, but Jaws sees it as wx.dll.
So even though in Task manager that program appears as MaestroDex.exe, Jaws sees it as wx.dll. 

Does anyone know where does Jaws get the name of the program from?
Thanks.

But what about those programs that don't have scripts? (Like Notepad)
Or better said, if ScriptAndAppNames() function is a built in one, where does it gets the name of the currently running program? 

Thanks.

Script ScriptFileName ()

Hi,
When I work with a program and I press Insert+Q, Jaws tells the name of that 
program. Do you know where from it gets that name?
(For example when I work with Notepad it says "notepad.exe" and when I work 
with OE it says "msoe.dll".)

Thank you.

Octavian
