Hi Jackie

Do you per chance have a copy of the Default script source in your JAWS user 
file.  I know I have been bit by that several  times.  If so, it wouldn't be 
the one from the latest release.  You can choose open shared file from the file 
menu in script manager to see the JAWS supplied script.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: collection datatype

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!
