This is why I am hoping for a response from the GW staff for this very reason.

So it might be a good scripting language if it plays nice with Windoweyes hosting technicals. It is, however, really, really cryptic and most folks would have a pretty stiff learning curve to use it successfully me thinks.

For that matter though, they also say it's possible for an application to host VBA, and even a scripting language derived from .net languages called VSA (so GW, how about it guys???)

Meaning, can it be made a part of WE's script paradime like VBScript and Jscript is now?
