In a previous chapter of this manual, you learned about the include statement. You use this statement to "include" the contents of a JAWS script header or message file within a JAWS script file. There is a second statement you can add to your script file that allows you to use another type of Script Manager file.
If you were to look at the default script file, you would find a number of include statements for a variety of header and message files. Following these include statements, you will find a series of "use" statements. These "use" statements allow you to create a link between the binary version of one script file with the binary of another. For example, you will find the statement use "Magic.jsb" in the default script file. This statement tells JAWS to create a link between the compiled version of the default script file, Default.jsb, and the Magic.jsb binary file.
This link then allows the script developers at Freedom Scientific to call functions from the Magic.jsb file just as if the functions had been created in the default script file or were part of the built-in functions of JAWS.
The syntax of the use statement is identical to that of the include statement. You begin by typing the word "use" followed by a space then the name of the binary file you want to include. The name of the binary file must include the extension of ".jsb" and be surrounded in quotation marks. Some examples of use statements taken from the default script file follow:
use "say.jsb"
use "Braille.jsb"
Use "Virtual.jsb"
