Hi,
Maybe one solution would be to drop in a script that runs the GetJFWSettings
function and writes the string to an ini file, then read the value. Or if you
want to do it by brute force, get the current user and look down through their
personal directory until you find the roaming folder, then fs, then jaws, then
highest version, settings, , language, then if you've gotten that far, you have
found it.

Hello,
Someone proposed an interesting solution in a french programming
mailing-list.
He says that chaining function in JFWRunFunction works. However, I
tried, and by me it doesn't work.
The trick would be to use IniWriteString and GetJawsSettingsDirectory to
write the desired path in a file; I could then read that file afterwards
in the application.
JFWRunFunctionA("SayString (GetJawsSettingsDirectory ());");
=> here I hear jaws saying: GetJawsSettingsDirectory, and not the
desired path. I conclude out of this, that function chaining is
impossible, while JFWRunFunction works indeed correctly (otherwise I
would have heard nothing). The function GetJawsSettingsDirectory still
exists in jaws script, I have checked.
JFWRunFunctionA("IniWriteString (\"main\", \"path\", \"somevalue\",
\"C:\\\\temp\\\\test.ini\", true);");
=> NO file test.ini appeared in C:\temp, even by removing the final true
parameter, and by trying some bachslash combinations (as I'm not sure if
I have to put 2 or 4 backslashes). It seems that RunFunction is
restricted and only runs with a few of the hole predefined jaws script
functions list.
