It's amazing coincidence sometimes!
Really, I've got a full window eyes script IDE working using the Word VBA
IDE, all automated so you have everything, even the script object, and it
keeps up with variable types, and gives you VBA/VBS context help, and of
course an object browser.
I was going to release it in the next week. Oh well, this is better just
because you don't have to own Word, but I may still release it for those who
do own Word.

This really is cool and I think gives people that feel of an IDE. The only
thing you have to do is get used to us using the derived Window-Eyes
application object for it to work. Meaning instead of just
doing:
Speak "hello world"
you would have to do something like
we.speech.speak "hello world"
Which technically is more accurate but more work. So at the
beginning of all your scripts you would just do:
Set we CreateObject("WindowEyes.Application")
And then use we from there for everything. The ONLY thing you would not
have access to using with the we object you just got is the Script object.
Script is not derived from Application, it is just given to an embedded
script. So if you wanted something from the Script object you would have to
just use Script.blah which would of course work fine but VBSEdit wouldn't
know anything about it. Also, what is so cool about VBSEdit is that even if
you use variables for objects it somehow keeps up. So things like:
Set mySpeech = we.Speech
mySpeech.
Would bring up the autocomplete to what the Speech object has. This is very
fast and more accurate then Aaron's FrameWork script. FrameWork can't keep
up with variable object names. I think if we clean up the few things that
don't speak (like the tooltip that pops up) this really takes the wind out
of not being a full IDE, at least for writing the script in the editor.

It's pretty simply, really. Just add a reference to the wineyes TLB
(under Tools -> References), then create a WindowEyes.Application object.
So do something like:
Set we = CreateObject("WindowEyes.Application")
Then, if you type w e period, the autocomplete list will pop upshowing all properties and methods of the Application object. The only
thing that doesn't seem to auto speak is the tooltip that pops up whenyou start filling in the parameters of a method, for example. But that
could be scripted pretty easily, I beta.

Greetings,
We recently played with an editor called VBSEdit, which is one of thefew designated VBScript editors. It's very accessible, and has a
built-in Intellisense/Autocomplete-like feature. We even added theWindow-Eyes OM to the autocomplete list for grins, and it actually
worked pretty well. So if you're interested, check it out:
