Good morning Margaret.
It is my understanding that Windows 98 does not support multiple user
profiles on one machine.
Therefore if my assumption is correct that part of the help file does not
apply to you.
I do not have the official word on this.
I am sure if I am wrong we will find out momentarily.

Subject: Scripts and Profiles JFW 6.0
Hi All,
I've finally gotten around to trying out JAWS 6.0 and, with the
help of an old post, think I have figured out that on my Windows 98 se
system the Settings\enu folder is in
C:\WINDOWS\All Users\Application Data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\6.0\SETTINGS\enu
and I've created a new folder for the originals and backed them up. I
installed the scripts for Ad-Aware and they work, but before I do any
more work with scripts with version 6.0 I'm wondering if I need to
understand what the following from "What's New" means:
User Specific and Shared Profiles
JAWS 6.0 introduces a new approach to settings files and
customization. Just as Windows provides a "My Documents" folder for
each user on a computer or
server, JAWS now allows each user to have their own profile. This
profile contains the user's custom configuration files, dictionary
files, scripts, graphics
files, schemes, voice settings, and other settings. This allows
different users on the same system to set up and run JAWS in
completely different ways.
In addition to these user specific profiles, JAWS also sets up a
shared profile. JAWS uses the settings in this shared profile whenever
the user has not
specifically defined their own custom settings. The shared profile
allows a network administrator to set up a baseline configuration for
JAWS according
to the needs of that network's users.
User and shared profiles allow JAWS to work better with Citrix
MetaFrames and Terminal Servers. Each user that connects remotely to
the server uses his
or her own user specific settings, without overriding the shared
settings or the settings of other users. These user specific settings
are the same as
those that he or she uses when working with JAWS on the local system.
This means that a user does not need to reconfigure JAWS when working
in a terminal
session.
JAWS creates each user specific profile in Documents and
Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\6.0\Settings\Enu. The shared profile
is located in Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\6.0\Settings\Enu. There are no settings
files present in the user
specific folder until the user creates and saves a custom
configuration. This user specific setting overrides any identical
setting specified in the shared
profile.
I haven't found
Documents and
Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\6.0\Settings\Enu
anywhere.
I'm not on a network and that may be why I'm not finding it, but
do I need to find it and understand it to correctly add scripts such
as the deleted message script in OE to 6.0? This may not be a good
example since FS may have changed the OE script file.
If I do need it, could someone please tell me the correct path for
Win 98 se?
Thanks,
Margaret
