Bruce Byfield asks:
"Does anybody else on the list use a programming or scripting language in
their work? If so, which one? And what sort of tasks do you use them for?"

Framescript - automation of tasks in Framemaker.
Javascript - add navigation, bells and whistles in HTMLHelp files.
DHTML - Again, for help files.

Everything else I leave to the developers or the "Wizards", but I am paying
attention to the threads on XML to see if it is going to be the next "Big"
thing. Looked at SGML for a bit, but did not switch over, as it wasn't
adding any value.
