Let me explain to you more fully what script files I'm talking about.
, I can't keep up with lots and lots of typoes made in service requests.
The survey job that I'm doing is based on information loaded from Siebel.
I'm using internet explorer to perform the surveys.
The information is loaded from Siebel into a pool and we use IE to use this
pool. So now I add typoes and dates to the jaws .jdf file for internet
explorer. It confuses me to hear dates in figures all the time and to hear
typoes. Its stresses me out, so now I add these dates and typoes to the
internet explorer.jdf file but it can only process 1000 entries.
In other words if there is 1000 entries in the internet explorer.jdf file and I
add entry number 1001.
Lets say entry number 1001 is
Actual word: assssessssnmennnnt.
Replacement word:
Assessment.
Now I click ok and I save and exit the dictionary manager.
Now I'm back in internet explorer, where the service request is.
Now if I read the long description of the service request, jaws is going to
read assessment as its spelled wrongly, not the way I set jaws to pronounce it,
because jaws can only process 1000 entries.
So now I have copied all the files starting with internet explorer.
Step1: I go to the folder where all the script files are.
I click start, click programs, click jaws8, click explore jaws, and click
explore my settings.
2. now I copy all the files that starts with internet explorer, that means
.jss, .jdf, .jsd, .jsb and .jkm.
I simply press I until I arrive at the first internet explorer file and then
I select all of them with shift+down arrow and I press control+c and
control+v right after each other. Now I have files called: copy of internet
explorer.jdf. etc.
Now I rename these files starting with the word copy, to a number such as 1, 2
etc. Each time the current dictionary file gets full, I copy these files, and
rename them to the next number.
3. then I delete the file called internet explorer.jdf.
So now I have the factory internet explorer.jdf file if I press insert+d, it's
the default .jdf file for internet explorer that ships with jaws. It contains
15 entries. I delete these 15 factory entries. so now I start adding entries
such as dates and typoes to it.
If I come across a common typoe such as assessment spelled wrong, I go to the
previous .jdf file and there it is spelled right.
So now I don't have to add that incorrect spelling of assessment to the new
.jdf file as its already in a previous .jdf file.
So I have created scripts to switch to each base configuration.
For example.
I assign the script's keystroke to windows key plus number 1, etc.
Then in the body of the script I put the function switch to configuration and
in the parameter box I type in the number.
If within IE I press the keystroke that I have assigned such as windows key
plus 1 that specific base configuration's .jdf file is loaded.
But now I rather want a list of those base configurations so that I can choose
base configurations because if I have more than 10 of these scripts I have to
think of other keystrokes to use.
If I have all of them in a list and I can just pick one, I don't have to use a
lot of keystrokes to press, I can just hit one keystroke and select the
desired base configuration from a list.

My first question is--what are configurations 1-8?
Here is the help for switchToConfiguration:
int SwitchToConfiguration(string strConfiguration)
Category: Settings
Return Type: int
Return Description: TRUE if the argument passed in is a valid string
(not ""). FALSE if an invalid string is passed into the function.
string strConfiguration
The base name of the set of Configuration files to load. Calling this
function with "MyConfigurations" for example, would load the
Configuration, Keymap, Script, Dictionary, Graphics, Symbols, and
Frame files that have base name "MyConfiguration."
Description: When this function is called, the currently loaded set
of configuration files is unloaded from memory and the specified set
of configuration files is loaded in its place.
So, if u don't have scripts & configurations & keymaps & dictionaries
etc. named 1, 2, 3, etc., nothing is gonna load.
I think I'd do this a bit differently, e.g.,
1) add a string called SConfig or whatever to the declared variables list;
2) write something like:
if (dictionary == 1) then
let SConfig = "dictionary1"
etc.
endif
SwitchToConfiguration(SConfig)
The kicker is each of those files has to be present & accounted for.
