Soronel, believe me--I think scripting is an absolute last resort for
anything. I've been doing it now for 17 years--& my mantra is don't
script unless u absolutely must. You're basically fitting round pegs
into square holes (or vice versa), & there's always consequences to
that.
I've taught a lot of folks scripting over the years, & my experience
is that too many folks try to skip the basics & dive right into their
project, which, as u well know, always results in failure. A house
built on sand, as it were.
I don't really think we disagree here, necessarily, though perhaps our
methodologies differ.
