Well, all, here's my problem. I have downloaded the latest update &
installed it--& still no-go w/this issue. So, maybe no egg on my mug
after all? Sorry, folks, I'm not seeing anything having to do
w/collections in any script file of jaws 11. What am I missing?
Besides my mind, perhaps? Truth be told, I'm not seeing anything
having to do w/arrays, either. Is any1 else having a similar twilight
zone experience?
