Hi,

recompiling, they do nothing."
Have you tried pressing CTRL+SHIFT+P, CTRL+SHIFT+A and CTRL+SHIFT+S? They
should press the Play, Pause and Stop buttons for you.
"Ins-q says "default settings are loaded"."
Yeah, I know about that one. Those scripts were developed by Sean Randall
and Graham Pierce several years ago and they're a little on the dirty side.
They work, but little things like that are missing.
"Also, how can I adjust the pitch of a voice during reading with a command?"
The command to change the pitch is
[:dv ap 122]
(122 is the the default). DV stands for "Define Voice" and AP stands for
"Average Pitch".

scripts."
I doubt it, to be honest. They don't use many functions and they all still
exist in later JAWS versions; if they didn't, Alex should not have been able
to compile them.

effects, once again you'll have to use a multi-track editor."
For the best results. However, the program does contain commands for stereo
imagery. As I said before, though, they mess with the computer's stereo
imagery, so they're not recommended.
