Hi chad. When you indicate below, reading through the documentation for the functions, is the fsdn still the best and only real formatted documentation available for scripting function examination? Because, well from the perspective of a greeny scripty newby, I find myself often not feeling examination of that source, particularly helpful, as it doesn't seem to be real big on comprehensiveness, when it comes to trying to learn the ins and outs of scripting functions. Does anyone else feel similarly? or am I the only one. And trying to then supplement/fill in the gaps by seeking to reverse-engineer real Live examples, in my view can certainly be a hard slog way to learn, when your a newby? or am I whining unwarrantedly here. <grin.> e.g. there's nothing in there, about how to make jaws say, "link," or not, to indicate to the user that hitting enter will do something, on lines of userBuffer text when adding those secondary functions of which you speak, which get activated when enter is pressed. Can anyone possibly guide me as to this? I Guess the new scripting "wiki?" is it called? when it's up, will help to fill in these gaps, but, well, if I may express a rather "null" point of view, (to keep my whine all cody sounding, <smile.) I personally feel It would've been rather welcome, had the FSDN been written somewhat more comprehensively I reckon. It's certainly written more from the perspective of people who already know quite a huge amount of what they're about, (i.e. developers, as it's name certainly suggests,) not for those lower down the hierarchy. lastly, I have investigated all f1 combinations I can think of, and simply cannot remember that magic keystroke, which my vague memory indicated, you could hit from the insert functions dialog, which might've either brought up the whole FSDN text right there in script manager to look at, or some other more comprehensive description of a given function, than the straight ahead description text in the insert functions dialog? is this true? or did I imagine it. thanks.
