    I have both seen and worked with it. It is still not up to the level
of a full macro but it is really close. Almost all the commands are
available for use in any order.

    Well, now they can (I'm pretty sure) and in fact you can have a
script perform a Quit now.

    I have no idea if this is possible to do with a script or not, I
never tried.

    I don't remember any changes to Lookups but I did notice a cosmetic
change in the Calculation dialog. Now when you scroll through the
function list, you get to see the what the argumes are for all the
functions in stead of parenthesis with commas.
