1. How do I assign a keystroke to launch the script?
You register a hotkey using the registerHotkey method of the Keyboard
object, like this.
dim MyHotkey : set MyHotkey = Keyboard.registerHotkey("Alt-Control-X",
"Test") // The first parameter specifies the specifics of your
keystroke, the second parameter indicates the subroutine called when it
is pressed
sub Test()
speak "You pressed the hotkey."
End sub
2. How can I retrieve information from the internet with a script?
That depends on how the information you're getting is stored. The
Weather Or Not script connects retrieve XML data from a weather
service. The Lookup Term script I believe uses more webpage scraping
type methods. I know for certain the weather script is very well
commented, as are all the scripts GW Micro releases, so taking a look
at those should give you some ideas. Beyond that, I'd need to know
more about exactly what you're trying to retrieve from the internet
for your script.
