I opened a book and turned on the script utility mode. There are no parent 
or child windows. If I keep the library open then there is a previous 
window. There is an object ID for the window with the book in it. If both 
windows are open the object ID is the same for both windows.

If you're at all handy with Script Utility Mode, check out the window
class name of the main window, whether it has descendants, and whether
it has MSAA objects. If you have just a single window, no MSAA
objects, and no OSM text (which is what you already discovered), you
found a difficult case, and something like Hot Spot Clicker may be
your best bet. If you see a window tree and/or a set of MSAA objects,
it might be possible to script that.

Hi

A few years ago I wrote a set of scripts for version 3 of the Logos Bible
software program. A couple months after I finished, the Logos folks rolled
out version 4. It is built on a totally different platform. My evaluation of
version 4 is that it cannot be scripted. I just want to check my assumptions
with the list here to see if my assessment is correct.

I assume it cannot be scripted, because I cannot read any text with either
the JAWS or Invisible cursor. The only thing I can read is the name of the
program with the PC cursor. The cursor routing functions also do not work.
With the previous version, I could use the invisible cursor to read any text
that was visible to a sighted user. Since I cannot read anything with the
JAWS or Invisible cursors, I assume there is really nothing I can do with
version 4. Is this correct?

Thanks,
John
