I don't think it was meant to discourage you in any way. I don't know all
that much about scripting, but I got my foundation from working through the
manual first and then attending the classes at FS.
What may help you more is to try working through the manual a little at a
time, and if you run into a problem there, post those questions as well.

Hi Jackie,
Your comments are in fact extremely discouraging. I fully admit that
when I read the basics of scripting manual as I did a few years back, it was
way over my head. I was so happy to find this E-Mail list where a person
could come and learn from the experts without feeling embarrassed by one's
appalling lack of knowledge. Well, now after your comments I am feeling like
I need to avoid posting on this list again. This is very sad because I have
learned allot over time by asking questions on this list.
Mark
God Loves you!

Mark, this is in no way trying to be either nasty or discouraging, but
your code & your questions lead me to believe u really do not have a
good understanding of scripting basics. Unfortunately, if u intend to
do any degree of scripting, such understanding really is essential.
Scripters need to understand cursors, focus, data types, constants,
variables, window handles--& a lot more. In addition, when the
compiler calls ralph due to a syntax error, scripters need to know how
to interpret what the compiler is saying & fix the mistake.
I know it's tempting to just dive right in & start scripting. I really
do urge, though, that u instead take the time to read the basics of
scripting manual & work the exercises. Your program will be waiting
when you're done, & u will have gained a significant understanding of
Jaws scripting in the process. It'll be an investment of time that
will return dividends in spades.
I know--I know--patience is a virtue; find it where u can; usually
found in women, hardly ever found in men. Please do be patient,
though, & acquire the understandings u need. Then, when u start
scripting for real, you'll have a foundation of rock on which to
build, & not merely shifting sand. It's not what u wanted to hear, I
know--but it is what u need to hear, Mark.
I wish u every success in your scripting endeavors.

Blame the computer--why not? It can't defend itself & occasionally
