You'll likely want to use the PositionInGroup() function. It accepts 1
parameter, e.g., for the window u want the info spoken (likely
getFocus()) & returns a string. Thus:
Say(PositionInGroup(GetFocus()),ot_position)
Just FYI, the way I found this out was that when I did a sayline() I
noticed that it did precisely what u were talking about. So I examined
that script until I found where the information was spoken. This is
not a reprimand--it's instruction in how to find out how to do what
you're wanting to do. As your former instructor in several venues, I
felt entitled lol. But it also might help beginner scripters to get
ideas.

Blame the computer--why not? It can't defend itself & occasionally
might even be the culprit
