Noob question: accepting multiple responses

[Jen]

I, too, am interested in resources for inline scripting. I wrote to
PST asking about a paper version of a user manual (I hate the help/
search functions in the software) but does anyone else know of a
manual or book that's helpful for new users?
Thanks in advance,
Jen
