are there analogous strokes in jaws? Jaws uses jaws+4 to enter special 
chars, but A lot of special chars are missing from list, and the approach in 
WE seems more logical.

As many of you know we created the Word Accent script to allow you to enter 
accented characters in Microsoft Word.  This was to get around a bug within 
Word that our enhanced Word support brings out which blocks the normal Word 
functionality.  After announcing this script some time ago we were asked if 
the script could be made to work with any application.  I'm happy to report 
we just put up version 1.4 of the Word Accent script which is now a global 
script and can be used in any control which has a cursor.  This basically 
means if you can type in text you can use this script to enter accented 
characters.  If you are a person who needs to enter accented characters in 
Word or any other application you may want to consider this updated version. 
This updated version does require Window-Eyes 7.11.  The script help is as 
follows:

This global script allows you to enter diacritical marks in any control with 
a cursor.  The process is based on Microsoft Word.  There are nine hotkeys 
by default allowing you to insert nine types of accented characters. 
Although all nine keys can be defined to your choice of keystrokes, the 
following are defined by default:

Pressing control-accent grave followed by a lower or upper case vowel will 
create the vowel with an accent grave.

Pressing control-apostrophe followed by a lower or upper vowel or y will 
create the character with an acute accent.

Pressing control-shift-caret followed by a lower or upper case vowel will 
create the vowel with a circumflex.

Pressing control-shift-tilde followed by lower or upper a, o or n will 
create the character with a tilde.

Pressing control-shift-colon followed by a lower or upper vowel or y will 
create the character with an umlaut.

Pressing control-shift-at sign followed by a lower or upper a will create 
the a with a ring above.

Pressing control-shift-ampersand followed by a lower or upper a or o will 
create æ and o follow it with an s to get a ß.

Pressing control-comma followed by a lower or upper c will create a cedilla.

Pressing control-apostrophe followed by a lower or upper d will create a 
slashed o.

Doug
