Looking for suggestions/advice

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Rodney,

One way to go around this limitation is to build an interpreter for the 
users.
What the users could do is work on a list of instructions that your script 
interpreter would execute for them.

This way you dont have the 10 line limit... However you have to wrap into 
handlers all the instructions you need to
execute... Depends on the breath of the application naturally.

Writing an interpreter is not as hard as it seems. Word 1 is a verb like 
doget, doset, doplay, doprint, doput, etc...

Checking the parameters after this verb is where it gets interesting but 
the simpler you make it, the easier naturally.

cheers
Xavier
