>“Scripting, the foundation that makes JAWS® the 
>most powerful screen reading technology in the 
>world, is now available in Freedom Scientific’s 
>MAGic screen magnification application,” said 
>Dusty Voorhees, senior product manager. “The new 
>MAGic Pro Scripting Edition opens up new 
>opportunities by providing a whole new level of 
>customization to our users, presenting them with 
>a greater level of access to any program.”
>
>
>
>The key benefits of scripting offered through 
>the MAGic Pro Scripting Edition include:
>
>
>
>·        Increased productivity by providing 
>single command functions to carry out complicated multi-step processes
>
>·        Significantly increased ease of use by 
>creating key- or event-driven commands to bring items of interest into view
>
>·        Improved functionality added to any 
>application by creating your own custom features
>
>·        Enhanced access to non-standard applications
>
>
>
>The scripting functions traditionally used by 
>JAWS have been expanded to provide new functions 
>for directing visual focus and utilizing 
>MAGic-specific features. The thousands of 
>scripts previously written for JAWS can easily 
>be modified to include MAGic functionality.
>
>
>
>The MAGic Pro Scripting Edition is a 
>professional version of the MAGic screen 
>magnification product including speech, 
>authorization for remote access using terminal 
>services and Citrix, and the Freedom Scientific 
>Script Manager with full scripting language.
>
>
>
>Both creating and running custom scripts require 
>MAGic Pro Scripting Edition authorization. Once 
>authorized, users can create, run, and share 
>scripts with other MAGic Pro Scripting Edition 
>users. Users with the current authorized version 
>of MAGic 10.5 can easily upgrade to the MAGic 
>Pro Scripting Edition through Internet License 
>Management (ILM). Once authorization is updated, 
>the new functionality will be immediately available for use.
