JAWS 12 adds some collection-related functions that are not in JAWS
11, though I don't off the top of my head remember which ones. For
this reason and to avoid confusion as to which JAWS 11 versions work
with collections, I tend to favor requiring JAWS 12.0 for those.

Geoff,
Ah yes. You're right. According to FS documentation on the subject,
Arrays, Collections, the New operator, and the new loop structures like
For and ForEach are only available as of JAWS 11 Update 1. The FSDN
seems only to mention Version 11 availability without beingmore precise
than that.
However, this should not be a major issue to users as anyone who is
running JAWS 11, is licenced for 11 Update 1. So unless Update 1 broke
something major that got fixed in 12, I don't know of any technical
reason not to be running it.
Cheers,
Andrew.
