Hi,

A few points to answer here:

1. To compile a script: as others have said, CTRL+S is the magic keystroke. However, you need to be in the script manager to do this! To get to the Script Manager, press JAWSKey+0. If you do this from within the application for which the script was written and a JSS file for that application is present in the user's settings directory, the correct file should be loaded automatically. Simply ALT+F4 out of the Script Manager after you receive the compiler success message.
2. Usually, the JSB (JAWS Script Binary) ends up in the same place as the JSS (JAWS Script Source). The same does not always apply, however, for JSD (JAWS Script Documentation), JSH (JAWS Script Header), JSM (JAWS Script Messages), JKM (JAWS Key Map), JCF (JAWS Configuration File), JDF (JAWS Dictionary File) and so on. This is because a file only ends up in the user's settings directory if it is changed from the default or otherwise put there. Usually a new JSB is created because the JSS has been modified, so both files end up in the user directory even when modifying stock scripts. However, if you are only modifying existing scripts and the documentation, keymap, etc has not required an update, the JSD file may never make it across.
3. Save without compile is useful if something has gone wrong in your code which is causing the compiler to throw an error and you can't figure out what. In such a case, you may wish to sleep on the problem and come back to it next day.

HTH,
