My take  on this is that sighted programmers can certainly learn Jaws, however, 
the problem is that no matter how many times you tell them not to, they still 
want to use the mouse and assume that what they see is what we hear.  Its an 
ongoing battle for sure.  
As far as a blind Jaws user that has technical leanings of course they can 
learn how to script, it's a matter of wanting to take the time to learn the 
language.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Scripting capabilities.

Evening,

        An interesting question came up today at work. Would it be easier to 
teach a sighted programmer to use Jaws, or a Jaws user with some technical 
leanings to programme? The programming in question would of course be Jaws 
scripting.

        I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on this. I'd also like to 
know if there are any sighted Jaws scripters out there? I presume that FS 
probably employ some, but don't know with any certainty.

Regards,
Léonie.
