Hi Bernhard, Thanks for the clarification.

Ok, I think that would be a good idea. Given the fact that almost all scripting examples on the manual and in various other scripts in this forum are written in scheme it would be nice to have access to at least the basic scripts (non-gui) without having to resort to re-writing them in Python. Although the rules for how to convert scripts are documented, it's still a hurdle, especially for non- programmers. About the underlying problem - the text in scheme widgets - is that a missing feature in the Windows scheme libraries or some weird bug?
