It is what it is. It does have limitations, but it's amazingly powerful
nonetheless.

Ideally, RBScript would allow us to have multiple context objects, have
"context classes" that could be instantiated as objects inside a script, and
so on, but in the meantime it is still quite useful.

Also, you could write an object/message dispatching layer on top of
RBScript. That would be a lot of work, but it would also be a lot of fun.

Thanks Walter,

I understand how it works with your explanation. Its really so limited its a
shame, because RBScript has so much potential. Its not even very easy for
automating my app, as it is!

Hopefully RB will get a proper RBScript with SwordFish.
