Re: How do you develop on the PocketPC?

I sometimes use interactive commands, but usually through a program called 
ActiveSync Remote Display which is like Remote Desktop. Other times I do 
double-click on scripts, and it is possible (but inconvenient) to see the 
error messages by switching to the Python window. I have been planning on 
creating some tools to help this process but maybe you've already done that?

Your script would be appreciated.
