Living without AutoHotkey - possible?
rjbull:
I use Autohotkey and love it for what it does, which is a lot, and will continue to use it for the many things it does for me. But sometimes I am itching for just a little more power and scripting languages seem to be a sweet spot for me. Thus FBSL. I'll keep you posted...

Edvard,
I thought you were DC's chief fan of PowerPro. Are you still using all these scripting languages?
Edvard:
First off, let me say I do not like PowerPro's scripting. 'nuff.
I have dabbled in: QBasic, Batch files, Kixtart, made a joke Java pop-up once, just couldn't quite "get" Lua,L.in.o.l.e.u.m, AutoIt3, and now do everything scripty in AutoHotkey. Personal productivity stuff for work, nothing special. FBSL is attractive to me because it appears to have just enough extra power to make learning it worthwhile, but still simple enough I can whip up stuff on a lunch break.... but I still might keep an eye on Lua. The one thing that constantly flies over my head is the Windows API. I like Autohotkey because it's just so easy to make something quite useful, without needing to know all that about handles and classes and objects (Oh, My). My favorite use is to automate batch processing stuff through command-line utilities.

Good grief, all those languages?! :tellme:
It's probably too late now, as these are almost all plain DOS, but if you're into batch processing via command-line utilities, you might like to know about
BFDS http://www.filegate.net/bfds/
which is the repository for the Fidonet BATPOWER echo's files. It contains lots of useful tools, including some not radily available elsewhere. Also, don't overlook Horst Schaeffer's DOS batch ("PBATS") and Win32-bit command-line tools at
