Hi John Greer and Daniel Dalton,
Firstly, sorry for using the high priority flag on this message, I didn't
want anyone else to read through previous messages and type up a whole long
reply when I've already solved this scripting problem.
Thank you both very much for your help. John, your "space" suggestion worked
beautifully. Daniel, your great attention to detail assisted me in insuring
I included all quotation marks in their proper places. I can't believe I
missed that as many times as I went through the text. ...Yet, these 2
suggestions didn't quite complete the job.
Now you guys might think this is completely nuts, but out of complete
desperation I deleted all quotation marks and retyped them in their
respective sequence, and I hit the compile hotkey to find that my scrip
compiled beautifully. I launched Google and tested my script and it worked
consistently and reliably--perfect! Is it possible that I might have had two
left quotation marks and such within my SayformattedMessage script
statements? It doesn't seem possible, but like I stated, I retyped them and
all was fine.
...Another real life example to testify that my College Algebra professor's
disparaging comments regarding VooDoo mathematics is not BS and is actually
a scientific manner of doing math and problem solving. (Dumb complacent
smile)
I'll catch you later as I've got a stack of crap to wade through before tmr,
Thank you both very much,
Matthew

This single message doesn't seem to be manifesting itself, and I'm given
an error message in this script stating: "compile error, incorrect
parameter format. The statement with the error is as follows:
SayFormattedMessage (OT_MESSAGE, "Window Maximized", Maximized"). If I
Text strings should always be placed between quotes.
So some examples include:
let x ="hello"
X must be a variable of type string.
I guess you can do the same with constants but I am not to good with jaws
scripting.
But remember a constant stays the same value In other words you can only
give it a value once when you define it. But this isn't related to your
question really.
saystring(hello) it will voice the string assigned to the variable hello.
Obviously you will get compile errors if hello is not of type string.
And if it doesn't exist it won't compile either.
Anyway you were missing a quote.
Here is a corrected line:
SayFormattedMessage (OT_MESSAGE, "Window Maximized", "Maximized")
place a semicolon at the beginning of this SayFormattedMessage statement,
my entire script will compile just fine, but I won't hear the "maximized"
message. Again, if I use a semicolon to block this statement the script
works as I can hit my maximize hotkey and any page within IE will
maximize as if I hit alt plus space then letter x. The problem of course
is that I should be hearing the SayFormattedMessage statement audibly
verbalizing the fact that my window is already maximized. I will paste
below the code the scripting manual states should work but actually
doesn't. Maybe you can give it a try and see if it will somehow work for
you. Don't forget to include the TypeKey (cKSSpace) solution you gave me.
Did you expect to hear the message when you commented it out? You
correctly worked out that was the problem but commenting something out
might make it work but you won't have that code that is commented out
executed.
Did you know that anything to the right of a ; is ignored by the compiler?
So a comment? (Different in other languages like c)
Are you copying and pasting from the manual? Because I don't think the
manual would miss out a quote.
