[jawsscripts] Re: weird error, "default script not found" but it's there

Once you ask to compile, a binary .jsb file is created.  If the compile 
fails, the file is still there and unusable.  Until you delete the bad 
.jsb file or correct the error and recompile it is useless.  This is the 
danger of playing with the default scripts.  One typing error can make 
it hard to do anything!  As a last resort, quit JAWS, load another 
version or NVDA, then delete the default.jsb file in your user directory.

real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I 
am working on things that matter.
