Hi Chip, I know you are pretty clued up when it comes to inserting code into = scripts and compiling them. You could insert the below example function into = your default scripts. Then you could use some code of your own or the = example below and insert that into your AutoStartEvent. Note: only for advanced users. This way, every time Jaws focuses on an application or Jaws = starts up, it should look to see if numlock is on and then turn it off if it is = on. Of course it goes without saying that you can modify the below code to = suit your circumstance. ; *** Example code for AutoStartEvent If (!IsNumLockOn ()) then {Numlock} else Return EndIf ; *** End of example code ; *** Start of function Int Function IsNumLockOn () Var Int iDown, Int iOn If GetKeyState ("numlock", iDown, iOn) then If (iOn) then Return 1 EndIf Return 0 Endif EndFunction ; *** End of function.
