That seems all very straight forward, and as that is the way I installed 
the lcTaskList plugin I am NOT surprised that it shows up
in the menu /Development/Plugins and load when it is selected.

But . . .

Ahah: Gottit! Opened a rather silly little stack of mine and wrote 
"--MARK Visichko" into a card script and it "automagically" appeared in the
plugin's field/ datagrid (???)

So certainly works in RR/LC 4.5 on Linux. I would assume that that goes 
for Mac PPC as well. I have to hop out for supper with
some friends, but afterwards I will run your plugin with RR/LC 3.5.0, 
4.0.0 and 4.5.0 om both Linux and PPC; and, just for fun (???)
give it a whirl with Metacard.

HOWEVER: the "Ahah" may be interpreted in 2 ways (both of which are a 
possible problem for you):

1. Richmond is a bit stupid and it took him quite a while to realise 
that unless he added those comments into his scripts they
would not appear in lcTaskList.

2. Your instructions are not clear enough.

Of course #1 would not be a problem if #2 were BLATANT.

AND . . . how does one use the plugin to count script lines in a stack?
