Subtly I suppose: the RunScript version should let you know, by return value,
if the script ran, i.e., if it exists. performScript doesn't do that.
Ordinarily though, you should only be calling things you know exist anyway.

How interesting. Thank you Doug.
function RunScript(BStr ScriptName) as Bool Is this any different from:
PerformScript DoSomething()

>From a post I made on March 4, 2009:
VBScript example:
dim o : set o = createObject("FreedomSci.JawsApi")
o.sayString "Hello", False
Summary of FSAPI.dll COM interface (JAWS 10 as reference):
function Disable as Bool
function Enable(Bool vbNoDDIHooks) as Bool
method Enable
function RunFunction(BStr FunctionName) as Bool
Tells JAWS to execute a function
function RunScript(BStr ScriptName) as Bool
Tells JAWS to execute a script
function SayString(BStr StringToSpeak[, Bool bFlush = True]) as Bool
Instructs JAWS to speak a particular string
sub StopSpeech
