I wanted to get a sense from subscribers how many are using CAATs and
whether you are using I.D.E.A. or ACL?

I am trying to see if there is interest in encouraging I.D.E.A. or ACL users
to consider contributing scripts or macros for either of the above products.
This would be done in the interest of preventing the reinvention of the
wheel for routine tasks. Not being an experienced user of I.D.E.A. I don't
know what the downsides of such a effort would be or even if it would be
worthwhile but thought the first step is to find out how many are using
either product. Following is a description of IDEAScript. I would imagine
that ACL has a similar capability.

IDEAScript is development tool for IDEA users to extend the power and
functionality of IDEA. It is an object oriented programming language which
is consistent with Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications(tm) and
LotusScript(tm). Scripts, which are often called macros, can be created
either by recording a series of IDEA steps, by copying from other scripts,
by copying from the History, or by typing into
a<mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\IDEA\idea.chm::/Macro%20Window.htm> Macro

Window. 

Often a combination of all three methods is used with the main
steps being recorded, additional items copied in and then final editing in
the Macro Window. Scripts can be attached to the Tools menu or to a Toolbar
Macro Button or run simply from the Tools Macro menu. It is not necessary to
open the Macro Window to run a script although scripts can be run from
within this window.
