>Version 1.4
>Released October 24, 2008
>
>Fixed a documentation error:  the property is called UseSAPIAsBackup
>rather than UseSAPI.  Added the utility RunFunc.exe for running a loaded
>JAWS function via the command line, analagous to RunScript.exe for running
>a JAWS script .
>
>Added methods for creating console mode programs with almost any language.
>Such programs tend to be speech friendly for users who like entering
>commands as text, and then hering the results.  The methods assume that
>the calling executable has been compiled as a Windows console-mode
>program.  windows with a graphical user interface (GUI) can still be
>created from such a program, but using standard input and output streams
>requires the program to be built so that it either opens a console window
>or launches from one.  The methods are as follows:
>
>ConsoleSetTitle(sTitle) -- Set the title of the console window
>
>ConsoleMaximizeWindow() -- Maximize the console window
>
>ConsoleReadLine(sPrompt) -- Prompt for a line of console input and return
>it as a string
>
>ConsoleWrite(sText) -- Write text to the console
>
>ConsoleWriteLine(sText) -- Write text to the console with a trailing line
>feed character (ASCII 10)
>
>ConsoleClearScreen -- Clear the console screen
>
>The Samples subfolder contains a batch file, run_interactive_VBScript.bat,
>which creates an interactive VBScript environment using these methods.
>You can enter VBScript statements or expressions, and hear their results.
>Variables may be created dynamically and then use in subsequent
>expressions.
