I have no proof except that I've never seen them return different
things, but I believe that IE4GetCurrentDocument ==
IEGetCurrentDocument, and IE4GetFocus == IEGetFocus. FS would have
maintained the old names for compatibility with old third-party
scripts.

I noticed that you use the function, IE4GetCurrentDocument, to retrieve the
DOM of the web page. The FSDN only talks about this creating the document
object of the current web page. There is another function,
IEGetCurrentDocument, that is very similar but specifically uses the term
DOM. I always assumed that IE4GetCurrentDocument was a left over code that
supported versions of IE up to version 4. I am guessing that IE5 and above
now support a more standard based DOM and the old JAWS function needed to be
rewritten. Am I correct in these assumptions? Is there a specific reason
to use IE4GetCurrentDocument instead of IEGetCurrentDocument?
