Anybody familiar with basic JAWS scripting? (self.Blind)

I'm trying to create a simple run script to open a URL with a keyboard command. Any tips on the proper formatting and script syntax are greatly appreciated.

So you want to open the Run dialog, simulate typing the URL and pressing the Enter key?

No. I want to be able to launch a webpage in Internet Explorer just by using a keyboard shortcut. In the script manager, I keep getting an error to the effect of "unknown word run", when I try to write the script.

What's your whole script, and what file are you adding it to?
Broken_Peepers [OP] 2 points 3y ago
That may not be exactly right, because I am trying to write it on my work PC, and I'm currently at home. So I can't reference how it is currently written.

I'm adding it to the default file.
ScriptOpenDSG ()
run ("iexplore http://www.websitename.com")
EndScript
ScriptOpenDSG ()
run ("iexplore http://www.websitename.com")
EndScript

I'm not very good at scripting, but I just made this script:
Script OpenWebpage()
Run("www.reddit.com")
EndScript
Unfortunately, the webpage doesn't open.
I don't think you need to specify the application because it will use your default web browser.
I suggest asking on one of the scripting email lists—I think there's one on Freelists. If you do, tell me what they say.
