Hi Soronel, I'm very pleased that FS went the way they did... I, & I expect many others, do not know how to write object oriented code, or use the windows host, and I find myself unable to learn despite a lot of effort. - the only reason I am able to use those functions is because Jamal Masrui provided them to the list. A number of people on this list have done a lot of work along the lines you describe. - do a Google search using the line: script jaws object -movie -film and a number of the hits will relate to this... Regards, Paul from Aust ----- Original Message ----- From: "Soronel Haetir" <soronel.haetir@xxxxxxxxx> Oh man, jaws scripting is automation aware? I hadn't realized that. That opens so many possibilities. I had thought the object type was just another opaque value type. I don't think either of FSDN or the basics of scripting manual mention that it can actually make calls to automation objects. Although that does make me wonder why they bothered writing their own script language rather than re-using windows script host. Oh well, probably a historical decision and next to impossible to change now. __________ Visit and contribute to The JAWS Script Repository http://jawsscripts.com View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts
