Hi Chris, There are about 30 something hours of mp3 classes (each with a text examples file) meant to get newbies started in programming, the VBScript language, and in what to do in order to control Window-Eyes (which can be done with any programming language in case you prefer something else). They are kept on the GW Window-Eyes Developer pages of their App Central portion of their web site at: https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/Developers/Interactive_Classes/
VBScript is generally the standard; it's thought to be the easiest to learn, and almost all of the examples available to you will be written in VBScript. It's not the most powerful language available, but with power comes a huge time commitment, which you could seldom justify for a Window-Eyes script. You can write a VBScript for Window-Eyes using Notepad; go into the App Manager dialog and load it, and run it that way (the simplest starter scripts would be done this way). The classes show you how to do this. The more complex scripts actually can be written using other scripts (or apps as they're now called) to make the process much easier. The one I just released for loading various .set files when your web page changes I wrote using MS Word and an app named "Office VBA and VBScript editor", after generating the "bones" of the script using the "WE Script Framework" app, and made use of the "UI Design" app to design it's dialog and menus. The classes do go over these tools somewhat, although at the time the classes were recorded these tools were in their infancy; they've now progressed quite a long way, and I cannot imagine writing a significant app without using all of them. As I mentioned to Mike, if this seems too overwhelming, you can start with the HotSpot app instead of scripting. It lets you specify "rules" or conditions, and when they're met, specific commands to be executed. All without programming, just applying a little logic; it's very flexible and useful when you learn how to use it. Hopefully this is more than enough to keep you busy, but please do speak up here ... this list has been quiet lately, but there are a lot of knowledgable folks who keep an eye on it and who don't mind helping you out.

Hi chip and all, I just joined this list today. I have never done any type of scripting before, and I am also a new window eyes user as well. I have gotten a part time job, and am thinking of using window eyes at work. I am going to be working as a telefunder, so will be in a call center type of setting. I am from St. Louis, and I'm glad to learn anything I can.
