I could not think of one either. That is why I suggested the easiest solution. The AutoFinishEvent, as you suggested is the best method to determine when the application closes or focus moves away from the application. I was thinking of testing the last keystroke with a call to GetScriptKey and look for the absence of Alt + Tab or Alt + Shift + Tab. There are two problems with this. 1. I did not do any testing if this call still holds the last key pressed in this case. AutoFinishEvent is not a script, it is an event that gets triggered when windows acts upon this script called previously. It might work? I can not think of any easy way at the moment to retrieve the last keystroke. 2. There are other ways to move the focus to another application, such as starting another application from the Start menu, using a hotkey to go to the Desktop, or bringing up a JAWS dialog. All of these conditions need to be considered when writing the logic.
