Hi,
A few points to answer here:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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,
Matthew

Are they interpreted or compiled?
So, why would you save with out
compiling?

to compile a jaws script, you must have
the
script file loaded and you simply save the
script
with any changes with ctrl plus s. to
save
without compiling you use ctrl plus w. hope this
helps.
