A lot of us utilize specially crafted "utility" tools designed to
query and explore MSAA support (and the extent thereof) in a desired
environment. (Doug Lee's BX toolbox is a fine example of such a script
set.)

When I first began delving into MSAA, I found the Scripting FSDN's
documentation horribly vague. My solution for this was to grab a copy
of the MSAA documentation from the MSAA SDK and apply what I was
reading to JAWS's native support through studying scripting code that
drew upon MSAA.

I hope I've been at least a modicum of help.
