Scripting requires a license.  If you application needs to provide 
Transcript programming to your users you can negotiate a license with 
Kevin Miller at RunRev.

But if all you want is to implement behaviors for objects, 
self-modifying code is usually the hard way to do it, expensive to debug 
and maintain.

Most applications have a finite range of behaviors, and specifying those 
with properties can give you a robust implementation that encourages 
healthy code factoring.

What are you looking to do?
