I am not a screewriter but if you just want to create an environment of 
popup lists and sublists like

INT EXT
DAY NIGHT
locations KITCHEN... 
characters, GATTO HENRY,

just give a glance to TeikeiDA. 


Sometime ago, Dennis posted in this group some useful information on 
TeikeiDA. Check here:

tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/peditors/message/30190


TeikeiDA is a desk accessory which can be run over *almost* any text editor 
(Memo, pEdit, cardTXT and, I guess, WordSmith as well).

It needs a bit of programming but you'll find it very easy. 

Once you have got your lists and sublists, it is very useful tool that can 
be called, as I have mentiond, in the context of many Palm applications.

You will see that one of the most interesting features is that TeikeiDA 
allows you to do bit of formating as well; so that you can get a 
preformated out put for your lists.


pEdit scripting capabilities can help you to call the TeikeiDA and to 
rebuild your lists of scenarios, characters and so on.
If you own pTools that can be done for other programs like WordSmith, 
cardText and others (though there are some limits).

For that it might be necessary to mark the words or sentences you want for 
lists with different marks.

You can try for example a pScript to get each of those words into variables 
and then another pScript to print them and rebuild youe TeikeiDA lists 
(which are basicaly memos).

If it is this what you want, you might like to experiment a bit with 
TeikeiDA (I believe it is still avialable in the net). If it helps then 
think about pScripting. I would be nice to help you in this project though 
I am always a bit slow.


Regards,

Jose
