Even I myself am starting to familiari[sz]e myself with rewrite (I've

using trunk all along).

The only reasons not to do so are: - - you started using trunk already some while ago - - you need a function implemented in trunk already and have no time to port it to rewrite by yourself (and nobody else is willing to do so) Greetings and have fun with rewrite!

Hi Jan, If you run pwb.py <scriptname> instead of cd scripts python <scriptname> the scripts should work without problems, using a user-config.py that is in the same directory. I'm not sure what you mean with 'the encoding problem'.
