Hi Bryan, If you like, you can send them to me and I will create a new listing on, www.icanworkthisthing.com. I do not use scripts much, but, I would like to. Maybe some one could write some instructions on how to use scripts, where to put them ect. You can send them to, keithreedy@xxxxxxxxxxx Thank you for fixing this script.
