From the archive
http://EmpowermentZone.com/jfw13doc.zip

This is a comprehensive set of text documentation for the JAWS 
13.0 screen
reader from
http://FreedomScientific.com

Help files in .chm format were converted to structured text 
format.  This
format has simple conventions that support additional navigation 
options
over plain text.  For example, the EdSharp editor, available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe

includes hotkeys such as Control+PageDown or Control+PageUp to 
move
forward or backward among topical sections in such a document.  
Pressing
F6 on a topic name in the table of contents goes to the 
corresponding
section in the body.  Shift+F6 returns to the table of contents 
from the
body.  Control+F6 searches for a section based on text in its 
topic name.
Alt+F6 searches for the next match.

The following 38 files are included in the archive:

At least two files are targeted toward beginning script writers:  
the
Basics of Scripting tutorial (Basics_of_Scripting.txt) and the 
original
scripting manual called "Everything You Always Wanted to Know 
About
Writing JAWS Scripts, But Didn't Know Whom to Ask" 
(ScriptingManual.txt).
Advanced scripters may appreciate the reference manual for the 
Freedom
Scientific Developer Network (fsdn.txt).  They may also value the 
analysis
of differences between the scripting languages of JAWS 12 and 13.  
109
functions and 28 scripts are documented, respectively, in the 
files
JAWS 13 Updated Functions.txt
and
JAWS 13 Updated Scripts.txt

A function or script was considered updated if it is either  new 
in JAWS
13, or its documentation has changed since JAWS 12.
