>> Hi andrew,
>> These scripts come as a part of JAWS 10 and should work fine.
>> Brian is working on enhanceing the scripts but he hasn't released his as 
>> yet.
>> If you'd like to help beta test them, write to Brian.
>> Here is the information as well as his email address.
>>
>> I have started a voluntary project with which I would please like the
>>
>> assistance of list members if possible.  I have begun to create some
>>
>> JAWS scripts for the TC Web Conferencing client which is used by
>>
>> Accessible World and other events.  While the chat client is very
>>
>> accessible, the scripts provide some additional spoken feedback when
>>
>> navigating the client, they provide keystrokes to read specific parts of
>>
>> the screen either on demand or automatically, and they give help
>>
>> information when requested.
>>
>> I am wondering if anyone would like to test the scripts to see if they
>>
>> are of value.  If they are, I will complete the functionality and
>>
>> distribute them at no cost. If you would be interested in testing please
>>
>> let me know by sending a message to
>>
>> brian at hartgen.org
>>
>> You must have jaws version 9 or 10, although if the trial is successful
>>
>> I will ensure the scripts are compatible with earlier releases.
>>
>> Functions added so far are as follows:
>>
>> 1. When logging into a chat room, the names of fields are correctly
>>
>> identified when pressing Tab.
>>
>> 2. Pressing ALT+L reliably locks or unlocks the Talk key and jaws speaks
>>
>> its status.
>>
>> 3. The following keystrokes are available:
>>
>> A. A keystroke speaks the name of the person who has control of the
>>
>> microphone or if no person is talking.
>>
>> B. A keystroke speaks who entered the room last.
>>
>> C. A keystroke speaks who left the room last.
>>
>> D. A keystroke speaks the number of users in the room.
>>
>> 4. Keystrokes exist to read the most recent chat message, the second
>>
>> most recent, etc.  First the name of the person who sent the message is
>>
>> spoken, followed by the message.
>>
>> 5. As jaws users will know, pressing Insert+Tab always reads the focused
>>
>> control.  In addition to doing this, the following information is
>>
>> provided when the keystroke is pressed:
>>
>> A. Whether the Talk key is locked.
>>
>> B. The name of the person who has control of the microphone.
>>
>> C. How many users are in the room.
>>
>> D. The name of the most recent person to enter the room.
>>
>> Pressing this key twice quickly outputs the information to the virtual
>>
>> viewer.
>>
>> 5. Pressing Insert+V for the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box allows you
>>
>> to control two options currently, which are:
>>
>> A. Automatic reporting of who has control of the microphone, and
>>
>> B. Automatic reporting of who enters the room.
>>
>> Other options could be added at a later point.
>>
>> 6. Insert+H provides a list of jaws specific keyboard commands.
>>
>> Insert+W provides a list of keystrokes native to the application.
>>
>> Insert+F1 provides context sensitive help.
>>
>> More feature suggestions are welcomed.
>>
>> Thank you for reading.
