I posted a very detailed report recently on ways to incorporate
custom script functionality into various JAWS versions. I think it
was to this list, but I seem unable to find it just now.

In summary:
JAWS 14 allows an easier way to override and still use a script set:
just Use it with the same name.

JAWS 13 allows you to include a full path in a Use line, but upgrading
JAWS and using Merge can cause weird problems with that approach.

For any other JAWS version, the copy/rename/use approach allows the
most script flexibility.

The MyExtensions thing works as long as you don't need to intercept
events, but if you need to do that, that approach is not enough.

Does anybody use thee relatively new MyExtensions method of adding your
own scripts and functions to the default scripts?  Is there a similar
layering method do the same thing for other application scripts, such as
Internet Explorer and Firefox? 
My scripts that extend the scripts for these applications currently use
Jamal's merge method with JAWS Script Exchange.  While this has worked
great, it basically requires the user to reinstall the scripts after
every update.  If there is no MyExtensions method for applications, has
anyone found a way to simplify updating the _fs.jsb files after an update?
