Brilliant, thank you again Michael :)

1) So, is there a place or a way I can find out all of the potential commands or objects with which I can manipulate?

I'm a programmer so I'm happy to get my hands dirty :)

But I'd like to be able to write scripts (Javascript, right?) and create shortcuts, etc.

2) Also, I remember back when someone was creating a plugin/mod that let you write a script to create procedural geometry - where could I find that?

3) And last but not least, are there any 3rd party scripts that are commonly used that I should find?
