Does anyone have any idea why fs had to do this anoying way? Why couldn't
they just keep the secripts in the c:\jaws60\settings\enu? Is version 6 that
much different than 5 that they have to make it so hard, and change the
location of the scripts? I'm just curious if anyone has any thoughts on why
it is done this way in the newest version of jaws.
