Uli: Hmmm... could we probably store this in some
config-file-like storage? If you had something like
ResEdit's TMPL editor for these, we could provide a
simple UI to edit stuff like this. Oh well, we'll find
a way to achieve this.
Alain: A FreeCard UI (stack) would be ideal for this
front-end. The output (specs) can be as formal as you
wish. Furthermore, the stack would provide all kinds
of facilitation and validation services that would
make this work fairly simple and accessible to all.

Alain: They would only need to install it if they
wished to extend FreeScript's syntax. In which case,
they are probably developers which, in turn, usually
implies that they already have such development-tools
installed. If they don't, then they can install it.
The FreeCard SDK would clearly explain this and/or the
FreeCard Installer Program could install one for them.
