I clicked on the FAQ link, and from there downloaded both the new version
of the software and the scripts without incident.

Dear Ken, I clicked on the ftp link below, but all I got was some sort of Windows error sound, if I recognized the sound. I don't think it was a "download completed" signal.
Nonetheless, thinking a download may actually have been performed without Windows consulting me in the usual way with its dialogue, I looked both on my desktop and in the folder to which I usually direct things like this to be placed. But there's nothing there, in either location.
I went to the Freedom Scientific site, clicked on the Jaws link from the home page, and looked for something notifying Jaws users of this new script download and/or offering it, but found nothing. did they not post it to a regular place on the site? Is it only by delving into the FAQ or doing some sort of search related to having a problem that you'd come upon the scripts and a way to download them?
If there's a download link on another page of the site, please tell me which section of the site it's in.

To Everyone Interested in AudibleManager:
I have been working very closely with the folks at audible since mid-December to improve the accessibility of the newest version of Audible Manager. Their developer even came to my house a couple of times so I could show him what was needed to make AudibleManager as accessible as possible. The newest version, 5.0.0.5 has just been released and is available at the audible site.
Furthermore, I have written new scripts for this version of AudibleManager which have just been posted on the FS website. All of the information needed to download the new version of AudibleManager and the scripts is shown in the FAQ which I have copied below. Please note that these scripts are for JAWS 7.0 only. They may not work properly for earlier versions of JAWS.
I wish to commend audible for their interest and dedication to making their software accessible. Please support this company as they have worked very hard to give us what we need. *******The following FAQ has been posted to the Freedom Scientific web site: <http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.cfm?QC=1035>http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.cfm?QC=1035
