Hi,
Joseph's explaination is correct. If you are using Jaws 8.0, for example, and
you wanted some scripts to work only if you are logged into Windows on your PC
using your user account, Jaws scripts are installed in c:\documents and
settings\your user name\application data\Freedom
Scientific\Jaws\8.0\settings\enu(that is if you are running Windows XP; I'm not
sure where they are installed under Windows Vista because I don't have a Vista
machine of my own to play with)
Hope this helps,
Jeff

Hi there,
A JAWS script is a type of mini program that allows JAWS to work with
applications that are not accessible. Before I jump to how you can find out
about keystrokes, I need to tell you how the script actually works:
When you press a keystroke such as CTRL+END, JAWS will search the script that
is associated with the application that is currently running. If it finds one,
then it will run its script. If it cannot find it, it will then search the
default script file. If it finds one, then it will execute the script
associated with the keystroke. If it finds none, then it will pass the
keystroke directly to the application as though JAWs is not running.
To find out how certain keystroke works, I suggest that you use Keyboard Help
(JAWS Key+1). This is useful when you are learning keystrokes for an
applications. To turn on Keyboard help, press JAWS Key+1. To turn it off, press
JAWS Key+1 again.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: jaws script
Hi, although I have been using jaws since v3.7, I only use the basic functions
which I need for using the computer. Can you please help me in understanding
the working of jaws script?
I know that jaws script is used to improve the accessibility of a certain
application for jaws users.So if I have a script for, say, winamp, what do I do
with it? Save it to the jaws folder?
How do i know its functions for the application?
And, is there a need to learn new keystrokes or hot keys?
Thank you very much!
Alvin
