Dave,

I'm sorry, but my own communication skills here have gotten the better
of me. What I actually mean by "subset of Transcript for basic
business logic" is the code which is written in the IDE which is
translated to the J in AJAX, namely Javascript (and HTML). And the
communication layer I'm referring to is the generated AJAX
communicating with Andre's server.

So, the only Transcript to Javascript (and HTML and CSS) converter I
am talking about, is converting a single card to a web page. The idea
being there would of course be custom properties of some of the
controls. For instance there would need to be a 'uPercentageWidth'
property for fields, which if true would allow fields to be stretched
with the browser window. There's probably many more like that.

This could, IMO, create a quick little app framework, but probably not
a business-class type product.
