Hi Eleanor. Thanks for that, very interesting. I am not a member of that list and, to be honest, would rather not join any more lists as my in box is already pretty cluttered, despite using message rules to great effect. However, if anyone out there is on the list to which you refer, perhaps they would have opinions or advice about Skype 4.0 and the jaws scripts I followed the configuration instructions as much as I could, but as was pointed out in the instructions, some versions of Skype 4.0 do not have all the necessary menu options, including mine. Don't quite understand why this should be so but there it is. In the absence of good advice from someone out there, I suspect I'll also revert to Skype 3.8.

You can configure it. Have you thought of asking on the access-uk list/ Of course yhou would have to join. It does not have juristictioin restrictions.
