First, make sure you have Microsoft Agent and the Speech Recognition Engine
(6mb) installed

// First we initialize MS Agent and load Merlin up
var agent = new ActiveXObject('Agent.Control.2');
agent.Connected = true;
agent.Characters.Load('merlin', 'c:\\winnt\\msagent\\chars\\merlin.acs');
var merlin = agent.Characters('merlin');
merlin.Show();

// Now we add a new command called run
merlin.Commands.Add('run', 'Run', '(run|run dialog)', true, true);
shell.LoadScript('JScript',
shell.GetShellPath()+'\\themes\\'+shell.GetThemeName()+'\\commands.js');

we need to have our commands object in another script, because at the
present time the 'agent' event doesn't exist.
in commands.js add the following:

function agent::Command(c)
{
 switch(c.Name)
 {
  case 'run':
   parseGlobalCommand(runDlg);
   break;
 }
}

now just hold down your scroll lock key to merlin listens and say run or run
dialog.. i you figure out howto get rid of the need for scroll lock, let me
know.
