At the risk of getting flamed I think that Marco has a good idea, I
would like to bounce some ideas about how it could be implemented.

I can see two, not mutually exclusive, possibilities:

1. With XML forms and probably JavaScript (as I think this is currently
the recognised standard for the web, although I too would prefer Python)
it should be possible to implement Marco's interactive learning
scenario.

2. For changing the document, an approach might be, for each call to the
common scripting routine:
* The file gets saved (temporary file?)
* The file location gets passed to the script
* The script manipulates the file contents, using common library
routines (I am aware of such routines in Perl)
* I think that the cursor location is included as part of the open
document standard, so this too could be changed by the script
* The revised file is saved on exit
* Reload the file

After more discussion if this, or some other idea is seen as workable,
then suggest an update to the open document standard.

Thanks, Ian
