Hi Jacob,
The Jaws scripting language is not intended to be able to create
applications, although some simple ones are possible, so you will find that
many functions and data types that are common in other languages are not
present.
For example, there would be no use for a random number generator in a
language designed to give us access to information on the screen, so no such
function is included.
For a list of all Jaws scripts & functions in a help file, download the FSDN
from:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/documentation/screen-readers.asp
In the contents view, the scripts & functions are arranged in logically
similar groups, or books.
You may also wish to join the blind programming list:
//www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
where some people have developed scripts to assist in using various
development environments.

I used to be on this list a long time ago, but am only recently sort of
starting to get into actually try to do something with jaws scripts, and
therefore got back on list now.
FWIW, I used to generally be a .Net developer, and while used to mostly work
on webpages, I am now, apart from PHP/MySQL development generally done using
TextPal, or EdSharp also looking into things like general windows
development, and recently newish things like WPF (windows presentation
foundation), which is specifically why now looking into jaws scripting since
it doesn't currently get very well rendered (for want of a better word), but
anyway...
While now testing/playing around with jaws scripting, I'm also looking into
one or two other small things, and, for example, wondering how you would do
something like generate a random number since have already put together
another stand alone app to allow me to roll dice in varying ranges, but
would expect to be able to have a function to generate random numbers in
jaws scripting as well, but can't find it so far.
Lastly, currently using jaws 10.xxx on various windows XP pro machines.
Stay well
Jacob Kruger
