I see you did not understand what I said. Therefore I would like to 
make it clear.
As I know you are a "converted" - Why would it hurt *you* on WINTEL if 
Applescript would not be supported any longer???
It would hurt me, because I m on a Mac...
I know how long it took to get to get a bugfree Mac engine. I hope 2.0 
has it now. Therefore I prefer a stable DEV and engine against any 
crossplatform specific bells and whistles like Active X, Applescript or 
others... Nice if it can be done, but for a small team like RR (they 
are not Adobe) that would make the product cycle much longer for all 
developers...
So I think they should give crossplatform and stability the absolute 
highest priority against platform specific features. Hence I vote for a 
real rev crossplatform RAD tool, and not for the 
onethousendsevenhundredandfiftyone Dougnots backing Active X supporting 
WINTEL tool...
Because that would imho bee the sudden death for rev...

(I hope my english is understandable now and you get it right this 
time, if its not clear pls tell me offline)

my 2(euro) cents
