The last paragraph of message 4 is very discouraging to me. I hope it does not mean what I think it does. The indefatigable and
eloquent Dave Saunders may be willing to work in batch mode,
but I am highly fatigable (sic). For example, I like PostScript
but it seems to require writing the program in a file and then
submitting the file (like a stack of punch cards) to the PostScript
interpreter. Sigh. After working in a Lisp environment I can't do it.

Isn�t it possible to type JavaScript directly into the debugger,
then press a button and have the code run? ( No wisecracks about possible but unlikely.) Or put another way, can�t we work with JavaScript exactly as we would with AppleScript using the Script Editor. Give me hope.
