Haden,
Wayne's covered the essentials here. If the first script sets up some data
in file storage for the second to rely on then obviously the INI approach
works - i.e. if the data doesn't exist then you can hardly process it, so
you can assume the first script was never run.
I would probably suggest a global variable (similar in scope to how the
autoStartEvent code I sent earlier today works) if the running was a
condition that would reset itself with JAWS. For a more permanent solution
naturally a file works best.
On the matter of running the 2nd from the 1st, it does nothing to prevent
the 2nd script being run independently (even by not assigning it a key your
user could reassign).
Sean.

Hi.
One approach which occurs to me would be to put logic in the first script
which would write a line to an ini file. The second script could read the
ini file as it's first action and check to see if the indicator is there.
If it is there proceed otherwise shut down.
Or you could start the second script from the first script.
Regards,
Wayne
