[jawsscripts] Re: using the use function

It's not as straight forward as that.  While JAWS loads the jsb file by
inserting the functions and scripts it contains onto the call stack, it
does not load any key bindings from the accompanying jkm file.

It is necessary to manually add keystrokes to the jkm file of the
application using the jsb file.  However, if the jsb file masks
functions/scripts in the default scripts and default keystrokes exist
for these, then it should just work since the default keystrokes will
pick up the new functions off the call stack.  However, not that if the
application script file has scripts/functions with the same names as any
of those in the jsb file being used, then the application-specific
scripts/functions will take precedence.  I hope that made some sense.

Hth,
Andrew.
