Don,
Regarding your first problem, is there no way within the scripts themselves
to toggle the speaking of Debug messages? This could be accomplished by
writing and removing the key from the JCF file, if I understand the process;
an easily-integratable option into the verbosity dialog within the
applications.
Sean.

Subject: [jawsscripts] JSX Questions
Hi Jamal and others,
I have been using jsx to package scripts for VMware Player and Workstation.
As you might have noticed, Chris Hallsworth started these scripts and I have
been working with him to add a little and am package them. The Player
scripts are a no brainer to package with jsx. Jsx does a good job of
packaging the Workstation as well. In fact, I have packaged them together.
JAWS comes with a "vmware.jss" script file, so I placed our scripts in
"VMwareWorkstation.jss" file and let jsx merge them together. I am using
the statement at the top of the script file to instruct jsx how to merge.
I have two additional things I would like the merge to handle, but I do not
know if it is possible.
1. I like to add debug messages throughout certain code in the format:
SayMessage (OT_DEBUG, "Menu Event: new mode = " + IntToString (iMode) + ",
handle = " + IntToString (hMenu))
To enable this to speak I add the following line to the JCF file:
[OutputModes]
DEBUG=1|1|1|DEBUG Message
Before I package the scripts I place a semicolon in front of the second line
so that these statements will be silent. When this file gets merged, even if
there was not previously a JCF file present, the section name and a dummy
line gets placed in the "vmware.jcf" file as follows: .
[OutputModes]
(NONE)
The problem is that it can be handy if a user has a problem, to tell them in
an email to remove the semicolon and listen for certain information at the
spot where they have problems or just the last thing it said before going
south. I currently get around this by simply adding a "vmware.jcf" file to
the package with these commented lines already added . The only problem
with this solution is that this would overwrite any JCF file there before
installation. Would it be possible to have the merge process add these
comment lines to the result file? Perhaps only specially marked comment
lines like a double semicolon (;; ) would be copied to the result file. ?
2. I was able to use the auto graphics labeler on this application to make
sense of some of the dialogs. I may need to label more manually. I would
like to add this information in the package in the file,
"VMwareWorksttation.jgf" file, and have it merged with any graphics that the
user labeled in the "vmware.jgf" file. However, jsx does not merge these
files for me. Is it possible to get jsx to do this?
