[Gambas-user] Scripter gbs3 Change

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

You are right, I was reading too fast :)

My scripts are simple, no functions included, if you mean that. Just 
some variables declared, then the program, no diving into functions, no 
jumping here and there. Hardly more than a bash script. I cannot post 
any of them as they are in the office, and I am mostly in home office 
these days. But you will know what I mean... ;)

When I used functions etc., I would not consider this a script anymore. 
I would call it a commandline program, such as it is proposed in the 
project starting wizard of the IDE. So it is a standard Gambas 
application but without any graphics bindings. IMHO a script is 
something much more reduced, program text in the scope of one single 
main function only.

So I guess I can let my scripts live happily... :)

Regards

Rolf
