Gee, Jon, green screen bellowing from you?  Next thing I suppose we'll hear
from you is a request for enhancements to SEU. :-)

 >> Joel said he wasn't aware of any scripting language for the GUI.

It's supposed to be coming Charly - just not at the same time as V5 R1 (or
R2?).

I wouldn't even mind if they published all the APIs that are used by Ops
Nav so that we could write our own command interfaces, but I've seen no
sign that that will happen.  I am seeing signs that even more function will
be added to Ops Nav that has no green screen equivalent.

I think this is a good Soundoff topic for COMMON - but frankly asking them
to provide commands for everything won't go anywhere.  They can't/won't
afford it.  We've told them for years that we want graphical interfaces,
guess what we got what we asked for!

Best we can hope for is to persuade them to publish the APIs.
