>> Whoa! $200? That's the bargain of the century… << Yep. Now that 3DS users are getting comfortable with the new Release 4 features and scripting is becoming more established, we decided it was time to open things up a bit! >> How many sample scripts does it come with, and what do they do? << Well, I'm glad you asked! No fewer than 21 sample scripts are included, not counting all TSE scripts here on CompuServe, many of which we're throwing on the shipping disk just to make sure you get them. The default set of scripts created for TSE include four AXP scripts, four IXP scripts, eight PXP scripts, and five SXP scripts. Most are commented extensively throughout, in addition to being useful.
