Another question.  Since the user is already connected to the internet when using these scripts.  Would it be possible to put in some code at the beginning of the script to check the scripts download site for updates?  I know when you run some programs they do it, but just wondered how hard that would be to do with a script?

Issue I see coming up there is when people may not be using updated versions.  I didn't upgrade to TWX2.04 final for serveral months.  If my scripts started self updating for new featurs not included, I see bad things happening.
 
I do think we could put together a package of various scripts, and include links to sites for people to visit to check for updates if they find they are needed.  I also like when authors put their instructions and contacts in the begining of the scripts.  I've got several downloaded, that I don't have a clue what they do, if they work, or who to contact.

RP, best way to find out what they do is to use them.
If they work for you, keep them. If they don't, delete them.
As for an all-in-one pack, I don't think that would be possible.
Too many opinions as what is the best script for a specific task.
The scripts that come with TWX will get a new player through the basics of the game before trying to introduce them to pgridding or team SDT.

You are so wise! Wish I could have thought of that myself.  Maybe someday
