I believe this below is an example of what you might want. Teikei DA is a DeskAccessory (DA). As many other DeskAccesories, it can be launched without leaving the application (Memo, pEdit, WordSmith or so). I hope you are familiar with the concept of DA.

If so, you may continue reading.

Teikei allows you to pop up lists and sublists which you can customize fitting your needs. The list must be kept in separate memos and might be updated at any time.

These memos are an example following the data you gave us in your first e-mail

VVVV*FIRST MEMO* VVVV
TeikeiA;srw

Fade in;FADE IN:$\n$\n
OTHER STUFF...
scene;$slcontext$sl $slLOCATION$sl -- $slLIGHT$sl$\n$\n
actors;$slACTORS$sl
_______END FRIST MEMO______

This memo is the main script for Teikei. Teikei can handle up to 5.

As you see it allows some programming. In the manuals you have download  you can find a more complate information. 

Teikei DA shows you, under each of the five list it handles, a list of items you can paste in your text field.
Each of this list corresponds to a memo (TeikeiA;scrW, TeikeiB;Appt, TeikeiC...)

The labels you can see in that list are the labels you have typed in the lines of that memo. Each line has two parts divided by a semicolon. 
Up to the semicolon you type the label, if any. After the semicolon you type the action: most of the time to paste some text. If there is no semicolon the action is the label.

The first line (Fade in; FADE IN$\n$\n) means that you will see in the list "Fade in" and you will produce that text in your text field like FADE IN: followed by two linefeeds


The following memos are the lists 

The last line means that you will see in the list the label "actors" and Teikei will show you a sublist with their names.


VVVV*SECOND MEMO*VVVVV
LOCATION
D¦NEW LOCATION¬

HALL
DININGROOM
GARDEN
________end second memo____


The content of this memo is the sublist for locations. The first option would be the way of introduccing new words in that list. "D¦¬" these are the marks which the pScript will look for to update the sublists. (You can do it manually if you wish). The new name can be one or mor words but *no more than* one line. The name must be written between "¦" and "¬". A,B,C.D, at the beginnig of the mark, are needed for the pScript to identified the kind of data it handles. All the marks are deleted by the pScript.


The second option is a blank option. It is needed just in case you change your mind and don't wnat ot paste any location. 




VVVVV *THIRD MEMO* VVVVVVV

VVVVVV *FOURTH MEMO* VVVVV

VVVVVVV *FITH MEMO* VVVVV

These memos can give you an idea of how Teikei can meet you needs (or not)
