:). well, haha Thanks so much Jeremy for the so kind acknowledgement. :-)
However, Dennis has actually kindly provided a far more useful direct code
example fix for this particular desire, though I can't remember now whether
it was you who'd initially wanted this single press to elicit Time/Date, ,
or someone else?
The only Caveat of directly implementing Dennis's suggestion to alter the
default scripts file,
as I say, is, if you're running Doug's Skype Scripts, because, it's my
understanding that the skype scripts installer, actually rebuilds the user's
default.jss file, to oincorporate needed global code there, and just calls
the User's previous Default.jsb file from the newly built default.jss file.
Jonathan has indicated that the best way around this, is to
Make another entire file with all one's default overRides in there. But, I'm
as yet unfamiliar with which code, say, gets run first, or even doubled up
on???? if one tweaks a script that is already in the Default.JSB file, and
that's usually called at the top of the .JSS?

I understand the concept you are conveying, and after reading your post and
giving this a bit more thought, it might not be all that easy to add
"additional features" to existing scripts--having current scripts speak
additional information with a double press. :)
Thank you tremendously Jeff for taking the time to convey such great
information.

Hi Jeremy.
I'm assuming that Jonathan is referring to the: IsSameScript ()
conditional
function, inside the SaySystemTime Script.
The first line in the current
IsSameScript () condition, e.g.:
Let sTimeOrDate = FormatString (cmsgGetSysDate, SysGetDate ())
will be the function that runs when the key is pressed twice, thus
satisfying the condition that it is the, same script, being invoked.
The line that occurs after the else in such a condition, E.G. in this
case:
Let sTimeOrDate = FormatString (cmsgGetSysTime, SysGetTime ())
will be the code that runs when the key is only pressed once.
To achieve the original poster's desire, Jonathan is suggesting removal of
that entire condition:
If IsSameScript ()
; Run code when key is pressed twice,
Else
; Run code when key is presse once,
EndIf
Condition.
Such that it formats the SysGetTime, and SysGetDate strings, into one
consecutive string, then invokes that string into one of the, Say,
functions.
In the case of jaws 12, which is what I have here, they have used the,
SayUsing Voice
Function to speak that particular formatted string.
Be warned though, that if you happen to be running Doug's excellent and
very
helpful Skype Scripts, which makes a new user Default.jss, and renames the
original user Default.jsB, to default_FS.JSB, you will have additional
caveats around compiling these changes, the full extent of which I'm at
present unfortunately fairly unclear about myself.
However I will ask Doug about this onList in a moment, and his answer may
well assist you in successfully navigating this.
O, and I'm afraid because of this lack of knowledge, I was also unable to
experiment for you with the FormatString function, which I'm also not very
familiar with I'm ashamed to say, And to compile and test a specific code
example of removal of the IsSameScript condition, if you were perhaps
wondering why I didn't "bother", to provide this for you. :). It wasn't
out of pure lazyness I can assure you. :).
I tried to look up the FormatString function in the latest FSDN, but was
even unable to successfully do this!
:(
Hope this hhelps a bit.
regards
Geoff C.

Hi Jonathan,
Where might I find more JAWS related info on the topic you mentioned
below:
"the conditional that is used for repeated keystrokes."

OK, find the script mentioned in this conversation, and put it in your
own
personal copy of default.jss (along with code generally used to insure
that
your current default.jss is getting updated by FS).
Then remove the conditional that is used for repeated keystrokes.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn

You can look for the keystroke "SaySystemTime" in the keyboard
manager, and assign what ever key you want. Just remember that it is a
default keystroke, and no matter what you are doing, every time that
you press that key, jaws is going to tell you the time and date.

Is there a way to do this rather than having to use JAWS key plus F12
Many thanks in anticipation,
