DISCLAIMER: I'm not making any promises, but...
Scripting Palm Desktop is officially unsupported currently, and as
anyone who tried to write a script has probably discovered, it has
"issues". No promises, but if we were to start supporting scripting
officially, it would be simplest if we could resolve the issues
while not guaranteeing compatibility with existing scripts. What
this means is that any existing scripts may or may not work with a
future version of Palm Desktop, and may or may not require
rewriting to some degree. The question is whether compatibility is
important, and to what degree.
I would happily rewrite everything I've done in order to have better,
more consistent, coherent and complete scripting support. But I
anticipated this 3 years ago and have been working off a single
library of routines. So for me it would not be such a hassle.
However to toss in my 2 cents, Palm did/does warn everyone at the top
of the dictionary, so expectations were suitably set.
