Aculaly editing the default.jss is a colmen practus.
You do this when you want to add functionality to the default scripts for
example the help balloon script or adding a talking clock to jaws or adding
a script to allow jaws  to inform you when people have signed in to skype
etc.  fs will edit the default scripts to and so what happens is you edit
your they edit theres and some times they are out of sink.  The salution is
to keep a file that shows all the changes you maid to the default fileand
then edit it back in the new fs default.jss 
What I do is put all the changes I want in a jim.jss file and then just add
one line back in after updating my default file include "jim.jss" compile
the new scripts and all the functions etc are now there in my new scripts.

chris,
"quirky" would seem a damn understatement, judging by the misery you've been

put through. I wish we could all accept the jaws not only has annoying and 
inconvenient glitches in every new version, usually something that used to 
work fine but becomes weird, but it's just so frustrating. Besides which, 
see, you'll get a problem like this, and I won't, and someone else will get 
something else, and no one will ever explain the pattern or how these things

happen this way, so inconsistently. It's really a bit much, to put it 
politely. Yet we press on, because the program is such a gift to us who 
can't see the screen, or see it clearly, and it's really a wonder if you 
ever think about it as if you were just a tech savvy sighted person learning

about it for the first time. it's a really killer app. But it's so goofy, 
and FS never explains how this weird stuff happens to one user but not to 
another.

Ugh. Well, glad you're functional again, man. Congratulations.

I honestly have no clue why it happened, seriously.
I had no clue those files were even in my user settings folder, so i
didn't even think to look there until that tip came through. guess
that's just JAWS being quirky.
