Hello all,

First off, Thanks a bunch, Chip, for your scripting classes. I've only
been able to attend a couple, but have listened to the podcasts for the
rest.

One thing not been covered yet however, is what I'm having trouble
with. I will outline the situation for you.

In an application, just by use, I can safely say that part of a text
string is static. Take for example Your name is: Tj

I know that the your name is: part of the string is static, however, if
I press a hot key, control down arrow, it might change the Tj that comes
after the your name is, to Joe.

If I tab away and shift tab back to the box then, I get your name is: Tj.

How, in this case, can I get Window Eyes to watch that line (The your
name is: *) the * representing the wildcard part of it. and when I
press the control down arrow say "Tj", or "Joe". I know, or I can
gather, by looking at the documentation, that a clip, or list of clips,
would come into play. But I can't seem to figure out how to moniter
just that certain line. I know this may seem like an extremely simple
script, however, I'm extremely new to this, and can't figure it out!

Thanks a lot for all the help you can offer, and, Chip, thanks again for
your insite with the scripting classes. I'm sorry to see that the last
one was canceled!
