Hi Jackie,
I see the following in the default file in jaws 11.0.1147. I opened script
manager, and chose File.Open Default File.
string Function getTermForResearchIt ()
var
collection here
let here = new collection
;Basic demonstration of how collections work within JAWS.
;This is of course a bit simplistic and the uses are far more wide-ranging than
here, but at least the basic idea gets conveyed.
;final note on collections in general - there is no arraycopy or collectioncopy
so if you pass it around, it's byref / the address to the original.
;You'd need to for / forEach through it and independently make your own copy if
that's what you want,
; but could be memory-intensive.
;this is really simplistic collection.

The "about Jaws" dialog says I have that version. This script is not here. What
the firetruck is going on here? I feel like I've just stepped into the twilight
zone. I truly do not understand this! Surely I'm missing something--but what?
This could prove to be truly embarrassing when all is said & done. I am totally
weirded out! I don't use researchIt or aim. Maybe I'll modify the install & see
if there are some scripts that haven't been installed yet? But that truly makes
no sense!
