[Tektalkdiscussion] script for jaws to announce messages while in a presentation request

[Andrew Head]

hmmmm. strange. I have jaws 10.0.1139 so why did microsoft sam announce 
those messages. I am busy during the monday tech talk sessions. I am in 
Australia so this means monday night is tuesday morning Australian time and 
I am at tafe most of the time so won't have time to be a beta tester. 
However, I think the software is a great idea, and will download the scripts 
when they become available.
