It's actively supported and under constant development, and nearly everyone able to write a script can easily write code in a BASIC dialect. Moreover, this language can be easily adapted/extended to comprise specialties like in a DTP program, and working with strings is a charme. Gambas is also very reliable, it includes a non-GUI interpreter and has been extended by objects and inheriting. If you are interested: http://gambas.sourceforge.net/en/main.html The only drawback would be that up to now it's Linux-only, but is there a Python in Windows? Rolf
