I have some questions with the scripts about loops and well, just read them.

1.  Can you make a while and do while scripts and if yes, how?

2.  Can we use Boolean type variables and if so, how?

3.  How do we make it add text to a page?

4.  Can we use scripting to manipulate the words of a link?

5.  Can we add a promp and/or alert box and if so, how?

General Question:  What is the highest number that variables can go on this site?

1.  Can you make a while and do while scripts and if yes, how?
No loops. Sell me on a loop (real-world scenario) and I'll consider it.

2.  Can we use Boolean type variables and if so, how?
There are no bools -- all conditions must use an expression (a = b); you could make your own bools with 0 and not 0  though.

3.  How do we make it add text to a page?
$PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "<br><br>I've been added to the page"

But note that this will be useless in a link script cause the destination will change (unless you set it to @NONE) and the page will be wiped out.

4.  Can we use scripting to manipulate the words of a link?
$LINKTEXTn := "Hi Mom"  #where n is the number of the link on the page, starting at 1

5.  Can we add a promp and/or alert box and if so, how?
No. Text Inputs will allow you to do this, but those will come later.

I can't think of a real-world situation, but if I do, I'll PM you.

Other than that, great.
