You are correct in your instructions about where script files for JFW 7.0 go
but one thing is that some of the older scripts will not work at all with
JFW 7.0. In some cases recompiling the scripts will fix the problem and in
other cases it will not. I'm not sure on how to determine what wil work when
you recompile scripts and what will not.

Hi,

    I came across this problem as wellwhen I tried it a couple of months ago

but I attributed the scripts not working to a previous computer problem that

I was having with my computer.  I haven't tried it again since, so I don't 
know if this will work.  When you unzip those scripts for Firefly, you have 
to cut and paste them into the Jaws enu folder.  On my computer the  path to

the folder is as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Freedom 
Scientific\JAWS\6.20\Settings\enu

You should have something similar, only instead of 6.2 you should see 7.0 or

something like that.

You should have Firefly closed when you do this.  Once you've copied the 
scripts, try running Firefly again.  Then press Numpad Insert+H and see if 
you get a list of keyboard commands for Firefly.  If you do, then the 
scripts work and you can try the commands out.  If not, then there's either 
a problem with the scripts or some problem with my directions.

Michael

P.S.  I thought I had read somewhere that Jaws 7.0 was already compatible 
with Firefly and that you didn't need additional scripts?
