Tink has already provded an excellend definition of how what compiling
Jaws
scripts means. It is rare that a user should ordinarily need to do this.
You may recompile if you believe an application's scripts are behaving
oddly
and suspect corruption of the JSB (the script binary file). One other
instance where you would recompile (apart from testing or modification of
scripts themselves) would be if you were attempting to get scripts written
with an earlier version of Jaws to work on a later version. This latter
proposition however can be fraught with issues beyond an average person's
control since it may be impossible to get certain scripts from earlier
Jaws
to work with later versions simply because of the way they are
constructed.

Donna,
When you compile a script in the Jaws Script Manager, it converts it
from being text encoded to binary encoded. In other words it converts the
script from human readable form into computer readable form.
The mechanics are a little more complex than this, but essentially
that's it.
Tink.

Could anyone explain to me what compiling JAWS scripts actually does, and
when should it be used?
Thanks
Donna
