Here are the scripts given to me. If you would like for Jaws to give you the time and date at startup, do the following. 1 press insert+0. 2 press ctrl+L. 3 press the letter B, as in boy. 4 up arrow untill you hear autostart. 5 press enter. 6 down arrow untill you find the following 2 lines. endIf endIf ; DefaultFirstTime == 0 7 just above the line, EndIf, paste in the following. Replace Name with your own. 8. Alt F4 out of there and tell it yes, to save the changes. Now, here's what you copy, just as it's written here. Don't forget to put your own name in place of the worde Name. SayString("Hello Name, Today is") Say ( SysGetDate(), ot_string) Say (SysGetTime(), ot_string) SayString("Have a great day!") -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
