David, I gather by the lack of response,
that your answer, is unfortunately probably not yet.
<grin.>
as per your subject line, man it's just a way big call to ask a straight
ahead question like that.
i.e. how you go about writing scripts for an application.
If you've been on the list for long, you'll notice that some of the questions
regarding utilization of functions etc, are often rather technical in nature,
and I'd hazzard to suggest
that the success or otherwise, of even an experienced scripter, at making a
new software application accessible, is just dependent on such a large amount
of variables! and how much accessibility is actually required for your
particular way of working/functionality,
etc.
Until someone dives in to it, there are just sooo many caveats to be taken
into consideration. to start off seeking to learn the basics of scripting
things, you should probably study and go through the many exercises and
tutorials that are around on the subject. have you tried going through any of
the basics of scripting manuals and carrying out the exercises yourself as yet?
do you feel you have a pentiont for programming yourself?
But, again, if your at the very beginning, I would not be holding your breath
to be wanting to have made this new application accessible within the first
week, or anything like it.
<smile.>
Don't mean to be doomAndGloomer on this, but even with the extremely limited
amount of experience I've had, not having come from a programming background
myself, my own take is, it's not at all a simple thing, unless your brain is
wired in a particular way. in jaws 8, the basics of scripting training manual
document, can be found in
c:\program files\freedom scientific\jaws\{Your jaws version}\manuals
there's other ones on the web too, but I'm unframiliar with where those all
are now.
hope this helps you some. it's just a very big question to start answering
really.
you might try hotSpotClicker from:
http://www.hotspotclicker.org
for a way simpler an less sophisticated approach to getting access to
attaching click zones to keyboard commands, and labelling those meaningfully,
but it cannot do as sophisticated a job as scripting may be able to do, or may
not depending on how the application is written anywayz.

Hi list members, i'd like to know if there are any jaws scripts for
spyblaster? If not does someone plan to write scripts for spyblaster to work
with jaws 80? Thank you for any information that anyone has.
