note: I have just run the Jaws repair on my several days old installation of Jaws 8, taking the option to let the program remove personal script files I'd copied, perhaps mistakenly in some cases, into the new version's settings/enu folder. Then I copied, again, only the third party script files I knew were right to copy: Audible manager, AdAware, Spyware Blaster, plus one mysterious file for Open Book without which Open Book won't use Jaws as I set it up to before (by unchecking Enable Sleep Mode in default.jcf and choosing No Speech in the Open Book settings/speech menu(.. And I think that's it. So my questions below are about script files that are in my Jaws 7, but which I haven't yet copied over to Jaws 8 this time, awaiting some well-informed advice. There are some files I'm not sure what to do with. For example, what are the files whose names look like _core_ and so forth? What is the filename splash? What are the three files with Jaws extensions with the filename Manager (as opposed to audible manager)? And if, as George says, every major Windows application has its own JFW script files,why are there no such things at all in my Jaws 8 settings/enu folder, even though, as you can see below (I hope, if the files list pane of Jaws 7/settings/enu pastes in) there certainly are in Jaws 7. For a moment, I thought I recalled learning that some files of this sort aren't created until you actually run that application using the new Jaws, but I've been running Outlook express and no Outlook Express 5-6 or Outlook Exp[Express files have yet appeared in my Jaws 8 settings/enu folder. Last, my dictionary files. As it stands, I seem to have lost some or all of my dictionary tweaks in Jaws 8, and I'd like to restore them. But the dictionary-related files in my old settings/enu folder, below, don't look like what George describes. They use the filename dictionary, and have three of the familiar JFW extensions. Can't remember if one of those is .jdf, until I paste in the filenames and take a look. But I'm confused about this. I hope someone can respond to some or all of these questions. I know the above may look complicated so, please, read it over carefully, just as I read George's instructional post several times before doing anything. ---- the files in my Jaws 8/settings/enu folder: enu _core_.JCF _core_.jfd _core_.JGF _core_.jsb _core_.jsd _core_.JSS 4 KB Script Source 5/2/2006 4:18 PMDESKSCAN Ad-aware.jbs 0 KB JBS File 2/7/2003 7:25 AMDocuments Ad-aware.jcf Ad-aware.jfd Ad-aware.jff Ad-aware.jgf Ad-aware.jkm Ad-aware.jsd Ad-aware.jsh Ad-Aware.JSS AudibleManager.jdf AudibleManager.jgf AudibleManager.jkm AudibleManager.jsb AudibleManager.jsd AudibleManager.JSS DEFAULT.JCF DEFAULT.JDF DEFAULT.JKM 1 KB KEY eloq.SBL Internet Explorer 5-6.JDF manager.jsf Manager.jcf manager.jsh manager.jsm openBook.jcf outlook express 5-6.jcf outlook express 5-6.jkm splash.jcf ...and last comes all my spyware blaster files. My cirtualize/copy /paste routine didn't work very neatly, and I've just apspent more time than I want to admit going through what I pasted in and removing all the extra information on each line, which might have been helpful to someone who understaood the info, but it was all run together. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: 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.
