First things first:

  You need to open Script Manager, which you do with JAWSKey + 0 (that's 0 
on the main keyboard, not the NumPad).  When Script Manager opens, hit 
control + f4 to close the window holding the current application's scripts, 
and open default.jss.  If you have done this before, then control + o will 
bring up a dialog allowing you to do it again.  If not, you will need to 
Open Shared File from the File menu at the top of the screen, which gives a 
similar dialog.

  When default.jss is open, hit control + l which opens a dialog listing all 
available scripts.  Hit the S key then tab into the list and focus will be 
on the first script whose name begins with the letter S.  Arrow down a few 
times and you should hear the script you want announced.  Tab to the OK 
button or just hit enter and focus will jump to the first line of that 
script.  Read the script and see if it makes any sense.

  Martin
