You are correct I do need a scripting language .The question is which one? Not sure that I like tcl for this sort of thing .. however I am considering it . The problem that I have with tcl for end users is that it is not an intuitive language nor is it well structured unless one uses something like tcl / incr. I have to think about it a little longer and explore other alternatives .
