Allan,

While there are GW Micro staff who sometimes respond on this list, you
should probably direct your question directly to 
GW Micro.  The note to which you responded was forwarded from one of the GW
Micro lists.  However, go get to 
version 7.0, you would have had to order the upgrade or have one coming
because you bought a software 
maintenance agreement entitling you to an upgrade.  If you have 7.0, you
could download the 7.01 upgrade free.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

>property to the Key object called UntranslatedName. From now on, our

>Window-Eyes will always be able to interrupt English hotkey names. They
>can still be displayed to the user in the script language, but they
>should be stored in INI files, and in scripts as English. This way no
>matter what language Window-Eyes is localized in, or what languages the
>script you are trying to use is localized in, the hotkeys will always
>work. Once again, default hotkey names should not exist in the XML
>resource, because they should never be localized. Keyboard.Key will
>accept both Key.Name and Key.Unstranslated name. Refer to the
>documentation for more information.

>Added Mouse.ButtonDownEx and Mouse.ClickEx methods. Both methods provide
>the ability to enhance their respective functions with key modifiers. In
>addition, ClickEx fixes a problem of interrupting speech after
>performing the mouse click.

>If a null string was returned through various Speech event handlers,
>speech would get disabled. This was mainly a problem with Visual Basic
>which would return null for speech events that weren?t specifically
>hooked.  This problem has been resolved.

>The scripting error dialog would sometimes pass a blank string for the
>error description. Now, if Window-Eyes cannot retrieve the error
>description, a default message will be used rather than displaying a
>blank string.

>You can now use language id strings in the XML resource, such as "en" or
>"en-us" instead of having to use a hexadecimal number.

>If was possible for a script to not successfully restart, but you would

>We fixed a problem where scripts could error when invoking
>Keyboard.Registerhotkey on launch.

>We fixed a problem where you couldn't Control or Shift-Click using the
>keyboard (meaning you couldn't tap the Control key and then press the
>Left Mouse button hotkey to perform a left click).

>We fixed a version comparison problem when installing script package files.

>Window-Eyes now ensures that any read only attributes on script files
>being installing, uninstall, or used when created packages are cleared.
>This resolved a problem of script files not getting installed, or
>removed correctly.

>The Window-Eyes Scripting Manual has been updated.
