[APBeta] Running Scripts

[RPEHLM]

There is no Scripting Manual for v2 at the moment.  Use the Scripting 
Framework display instead.  The v2 scripting system is being almost 
continuously updated at the moment.  Quite a few changes between one 
beta release and the next; after all that is what betas are for :)

If you like I'll take a look at DSS Gallery for you.  However it is not 
certain that if I get the script working for one version of v2 that it 
will work for the next.

Regards
Robin
