Hi
Hands up - that was my mistake - I should have used int. To be honest I'd
been writing in C# and just wrote the function for Geoff this morning
without much thought on Jaws's limitations. As it compiled I just left it.
So sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

Bool has technically been around for a very long time, probably even
back as far as JAWS 3, but I've never seen it used, nor seen reason to
use it. It's probably never been tested, and not documented either
because it's really not much more in JAWS than another name for Int.
And as you discovered, Int works better. :)

Hi Gordon and all,
Well, I was most surprised, and pleased, to see the BOOL variable type in
your function header below.
I cant remember it being mentioned before. When did we get the BOOL type?
In the version 11 documentation, I looked through the FSDN, & the scripting
manual, but found no mention of it.
I tried it as a var declaration:
Function TestFunction ()
VAR
BOOL OnOff
and that compiled fine, but I was unable to assign a value to it.
let OnOff = 1
gave the compile error, expected an integer, not a bool.
Could you provide any further information about the Bool type please...
Thank you,
Paul from Aust
