Hello, Roger.

I would be glad to tell you about this, but the problem is that I do not know 
what application I shall decide to script next and why. I am not a contractor 
for Thunder scripts, I am simply a scriptor who is doing what is or could be 
interesting to him - so I really do not know what would be interesting to me 
next time - no obligations, no plans just working on things that are 
interesting to me. Now Total Commander is an interesting application for me, 
but I can loose interest to it tomorrow for example or two months later.

The suggestions I have told are mostly general and can help me and other 
scriptors to make scripts for most applications present on the market.

With best regards,
Serge Tumanyan.
