This is pretty useful, but I'm wondering if there's also just a straight text (word, PDF, whatever) version of this? I think it might be easier to read/refer to than going through the menu within Celestia for each item on the lists...

Sure.

Information on Lua programming found at
http://www.lua.org/docs.html

and the scripting guide by Harald Schmidt at
http://celestia.h-schmidt.net/celx-summary-latest.html

are the two best resources I found.

As I noted in the readme, the Guide is, in fact, intended to be used in conjuction with the written documentation available. It's real intention is to provide visual examples of calls and snippets of code.

And, this Guide does an excellent job of providing a dummy (i.e.-ME)
with pre-made examples which can be compared and studied while trying
to learn the language.

Thanks again Clive. I'm slowly but surely learning what gives with
CELX. Have also got some REAl utility out of Hank's wikibook at
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Simple_CELX_Scripting for anyone
else who's serious about CELX.

My pleasure.

(I know asking for money is a violation of the GNU public licence, but what if I asked for donations of chocolate-chip cookies...?)

Hi Clive,
Asking for money for a product is in no way a violation of the GPL. You are free to charge for whatever, you want as long as, roughly, you share the source for any changes to a GPL'd collection of code that you make. You may want to do some googling to learn more about the specifics of the license, as it can sometimes be very confusing.

Cheers,
Joe

Yeah, but I bet it'd be a real bitch to share chocolate chip cookies
with all of the other contributors. :wink:

Thank you,

I took a quick look at the GPL and the FAQ, and I CAN charge a chocolate-chip cookie fee

!!!

Now, I just have to figure out how to adapt PayPal...
