Steve:
I will be sure to download and install the latest version of Skype from
skype.com, and will also get the Jaws scripts from
http://www.dlee.org/skype
If there's a better URL for more up-to-date Skype scripts, please send it my
way.
Thanks!

Tom,
OIf it was a number of years ago, as mine was, then it just won't work. =
Skype has discontinued supporting older versions. I think my version = was
6.1. =20
Jaws 16 has scripts in for the latest version of Skype.

Ok, Phil.
That's what I'll do then as well.
Not sure what version is on this machine, since it used to be my XYL's
computer, and wee used it a number of years ago to talk to the grandkids
when they were in Missouri.

Tom,
I never paid much attention to the current version. I just went to
skype.com and hit download and it updated my older version.
