Oh, yeah, I know that skype can be used without scripts and I 
actulaly think the scripts have become bloated to the point that they 
slow down reading. Since SKRead came out, I have used that for most 
of the functionality that the scripts give. SKREad gives optioanlly a 
lot more information and is a lot more configurable than the jaws 
scritps and the beauty of SKRead is that it works independent of what 
screenreader is being used.

I have several versions of jaws installed on my system and use the 
scripts with some but not with all of them.

I hope the skype script page will be updated sometime.

thanks for your feedback.

Doris
