INTRODUCTION
These scripts were developed to facilitate using the JAWS screen-reader from
Freedom Scientific with the DAD (Digital Audio Distribution) program from Enco. A list of useful JAWS hotkeys for working with the
program can be brought up by hitting JAWSKey+H from
within DAD. These keystrokes and their functions are also described below.
Questions about the scripts can be addressed to the developer by sending an

REGISTRATION
In order to be fully functional, the scripts must be registered with a valid
user name and registration code.
This process only needs to be performed once when the scripts are
initially installed. Otherwise the
scripts will operate in a timed demo mode after which time the default JAWS
scripts will be loaded and the DAD scripts will not be functional. A series of dialogs for entering the
registration data will automatically be presented when the program is run for
the first time.
The registration process can be re-activated or the scripts re-registered by
hitting JAWSKey+WindowsKey+G before the demo expires.
