Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: collection datatype

Really? I opened the default.jss file & looked for the word
"collection" b4 I wrote the list--honest I did--& just because
yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of my daughter's death, well, I
thought perhaps in my fog I could have missed it so I searched again
just now & no, Jaws gave me the big clunking sound when I looked for
it. I had also looked for it via the windows file search method, e.g.,
a file called *.jss containing the word collection in my all users
application data freedom scientific settings enu folder & found
nothing. That is why I wrote the list. So, I'm guessing, given what u
say, that I need to download the latest update--I tried unsuccessfully
to install it when it came out so I guess manually is the way to go.
Thanks for the info, Doug. I really did try these things
unsuccessfully b4 writing the list cuz I don't believe in asking folks
for help if something's right in front of my nose & I haven't studied
it. Yall know I don't. Anyway, apologies, guys. Guess I'll need to
cook the egg all over my face before I can have it for breakfast, huh?
lol. Irritating! Beyond irritating! Not to mention pretty
embarrassing. Anyway, I'll go back into my lurking hole now. thanks
again.
