[EOL] glx2 script editor

[Mike Kerner]

That was one of the things I was thinking we should be talking about, now

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
