[jawsscripts] No jscript.jss file

Hello All,
I am working my way through scripting exercises in the manual on scripting 
written by Kenneth Gould, and I have come upon a snag.
The manual states:
"We will create a script for the Script Manager that reads the current line 
number.  :...
Start the Script Manager by selecting it from the JAWS Utilities menu.
Press INSERT+Q to verify the Script Manager settings are loaded into the stack 
above the 
default script file and that the program name for the script editor is 
JSCRIPT.EXE.  This means, of course, that the script file currently controlling 
JAWS is 
JSCRIPT.JSS.  To load this file so you can edit it, drop down the file menu 
with ALT+F and arrow down to Open and press ENTER.  Type in the file 
name, JSCRIPT.JSS, and press ENTER."

Here's the snag: when I try to open jscript.jss, either in user or shared 
files, I am told that no such file exists. However, I find it odd that when I 
do the insert plus Q, it does indeed say "Script Manager Settings jscript.exe", 
as indicated in the manual.
I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if the file really does not 
exist in my version of Jaws, namely 7.1.
I am tempted to press insert plus 0 to try and get the application .jss file to 
come up, but I don't want to mess anything up, so I thought I would ask here 
first.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Donna (a scripter-wanna be)
