Mine was at a much earlier stage, when I realized that what I desperately
needed was some way to read and change properties in another script so that
two scripts running at different times could work in tandem. I had no idea
if or how such a thing was possible. Then I came upon 'load script' and
'store script' in Danny Goodman's Handbook and how to use them . That was it
- I was hooked. (I still really couldn't grasp the stuff about script
objects until recently.)
