That's a lot of questions <smile>. It's a lot less stressful for us if you
stick to one per email. Yes, you begin by creating a jss file for your
application, but that process is completely automatic. Have the application
running in the foreground and press JAWSKey + 0. That will open the script
manager with the appropriate jss file open. This will be blank if you
haven't written any scripts into it already. Control + e will then open up
a dialog with several fields to fill in. When you have done that, you will
find yourself back in the script manager with a skeleton script or function
set up ready for you to type code in.
See if you can get that far.
