Richard,

Thanks for the love!

Yes, Transcript Gadget (which houses an imported xscript dictionary) is 
"hooked up" to Rev script editor or Constellation script editor. RIght 
click (control-click) on a xscript word in a scrpt and Transcript 
Gadget looks it up - OR - right click (control click) on a call to one 
of your handlers and Transcript Gadget finds the handler WHEREVER it 
might dwell and open it up in a script editor. This is the one gadget 
that keeps me from going insane trying to find a handler and figuring 
out what it does.

If it will help the revDocWiki project, i can get the docs parsing code 
to whomever needs it. If we need it hooked up to a script editor (as 
mentioned above) perhaps we have an extension to Transcript Gadget?

Just in town for supplies...

Jerry
