i was just wondering about the general syntax of the scripting language. is it exactly like c in terms of the reserved words used for the conditional and looping statements, etc.

I was also wondering about how to declare functions and their scope after declaration. are new functions accessible by all scripts or just the script they are declared in. what about variables? are local variables local to the object attached to the script they run off or are they accessible to other functions and scripts? what is the scope of declared variables exactly? is it possible to declare arrays and other constructed data types?

i wish somebody would come out with a full syntax guide instead of all the bare bones function listings we're getting. something like a programmer's guide for the toolset.

and please don't tell me to buy the published module creation/scripting guide as i am just an impoverished college student ,and after plunking down 60 or so dollars for the game, i really can't afford the book.

*sigh* where's peter norton when you need him?
