Re: interesting thread about changing jaws with script question.

Thank you, Bob, for these instructions.

I know virtually nothing about script files so I have perhaps a very stupid 
question.  That is ... when I insert these lines into the default JAWS 
script editor, do I insert the entire line, including the parenthesis and 
quotation marks?

Sorry, if this is really silly, but I've not done anything like this 
previously and would like to learn more.

Blessings.

Here is how to add to the start-up message.

with JAWS loaded:

1. press JAWS key 0 to go to the script editor
2.  press shift control D to bring up the default script
3. locate the
Void Function AutoStartEvent ()



4. add the following lines just before the EndFunction statement



SayString("Greetings John Smith , ")

SayString("you are running Jaws version 7 point 0 0 point 1 3 5 U ,")

saystring("Today is")

Say ( SysGetDate(), ot_string)

Say (SysGetTime(), ot_string)



5. change John Smith to whatever you want and change the version number to
whatever version you are running



6. save the script with control s

It should compile correctly otherwise correct any errors and resave.



HTH

greetings all james here in denver, several  years ago when i was taking
computer courses in pensylvania, one of our projects was to   change certain
things in the ini file so when it came up it would say a diffrent phrase,
what i would like is a way to when jaws starts it would say good morning the
date is such and such the time is currently such and such that would be
cool, now i know lot of people wouldn't like that but a nice option for
those wishing it.
