I think this may be possible. The script would need to analyze rich
text inserted in the Word Find dialog, since it uses a RichEdit control,
whereas the JAWS InputBox function uses a standard edit control. Since
the example is in C, which I do not read easily, I am unsure whether it
uses some data types that the JAWS scripting language does not support.
If everything can be done with BSTR strings and integers, the JAWS script
could work.
