Hi Jonathan,
Yes, you're right. I try to do it. Yesterday I have managed to do that
the script reads all data needed to fill the list read from an INI file,
but currently I have a problem with the recursivity. It seems that JAWS
does not support selfrecursion when a function calls itself, so in
current form of the code I can nest only 2 levels. You write about
destroying dialog and event scheduling. How can I do it?
