Frontscripts and backscripts

[Shari]

According to the documentation, the following limits are imposed:

The Starter Kit permits up to ten objects to be inserted into the 
frontscripts.  This limit is set by line 4 of the scriptLimits 
function.  Standalone applications also have this limitation.  Ditto 
for backScripts.

Also, it's a killer to debug a front/back script.  The error window 
does not specify where the error occurred, only that one did.

I've got it working with front and backscripts.  But I wouldn't call 
it the most optimal solution.  If only the error window were more 
friendly, it would be a good solution.

I'd hate to have tried to debug it from the beginning without the 
error window specifying where to find the error.

I was not able to get two menuPick handlers to work thru 
front/backscripts.  Even with the pass menuPick message, the menus 
failed, where they had worked perfectly before.  (I had several 
levels of menus.  And tried to insert the one that had been in the 
embedded stack, into a front or backscript.  The menu that was in the 
main stack failed to function.  Somehow the inserted menu blocked it, 
even with a pass menuPick message at the end.)

All in all I've got everything working.  Am in final testing again. 
And as soon as this sucker is out the door, am planning to write an 
article to help others deal with standalone issues.  I'll post it on 
my website, and those with Metacard resource sites are welcome to 
link to it.

I've got several articles floating around out there, not related to 
programming.  I believe this will be a good addition.
