The ScriptBasic dev team is packaging the interpreter in a Term.apk file
to make it installable without all the Android Linux tricks just to run
it native. Any feedback your willing to provide with this early beta

either send me an e-mail to support at ...2529... or join the
ScriptBasic forum at http://www.scriptbasic.org/forum .
