Hello!

1. Open script manager.
2. press ctrl + shift + D, to load the default.jss file.
3. Once you are there, press ctrl + end key, to move to the buttom.
4. Once you are there, press ctrl + E, for new script.
5. In the script name field, type "WindowsHelpBalloon".  Then, press tab
key.
6. Check the check box that says, "Can be attach to key check box".
7. The synopsis and Description field is optional.
8. Press alt + A, to move focus to the keyboard assign.  Press a combination
key and press tab.
9. Look for the Ok button and press your space bar.
10. The skeleton code for your new script has been created.  Copy the code
in the blank provided.
11. Once you are done, press ctrl + S, to compile the script.
12. Once JAWS confirms that you successfully compiled the script, close the
script manager.

If you don't have the script yet, please let me know.

Hope This helps
