around since the 90s, works on all versions of windows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>and is free.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's sort of the perfect thing for a sort of kind
of programmer like me who's learning, but what's great about it is when you
screw up it'll correct you, and it auto-generates code and you can compile it to
an exe.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's just a text file otherwise, </FONT></DIV>

install the autohotkey, or for those who don['t have it installed the .exe files
will run.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The one draw back to it is it doesn't have the
tight integration to individual screen-readers </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>like jaws scripts or window-eyes scripts or python
might with nvda, but there are ways to make things
speak,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>and you can call certain system functions with ahk
you can't with jaws or we scripts.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When I was doing my access dev, I chose this tool
precisely because I didn't want just a blindie tool, one which would work with a
lot of different stuff and not tie your hands.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Some of the reaper folks have been making ahk
scripts for some plugs, I've only done them for sonar so far, but at some point
I might tackle some for reaper, but programming is way down my list right now
the studio is busy.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But what might take me a week to do, Shannon could
probably bang out in 30 minutes, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>the manual is great and there are lots of good
examples to get you started.</FONT></DIV>

what Shannon also needs is a tutorial on NVDA or something like that. I think
some of the problem when we talk to the developers is that we forget that they
don't know how to use our software. I think that would probably help them to
understand how to help us better if they can speak our language.<BR>>

information that I can give him that might help him figure out exactly what we
