Have you visited the Script Library yet? http://www.dejudicibus.it/psl/
It provides a description of the script and is not an archive, so many 
scripts must be found on their own creator's sites or in this newsgroup.

In a freshly installed PSP, you'll find the factory scripts in the 
following folders
/Programs/Corel/PSP_number/
Scripts_Restricted  - scripts which do not save or delete.
Scripts_Trusted   -used for scripts which can save or delete.

When you save scripts you've created, they go into the My Documnets/My 
PSP/ scripts folders.

I mention all this because the multiple folders confuse some new folks 
and also the file locations paths are not always set to all 4 folders 
within PSP. So you don't see all the included scripts.

Hi folks,

I'm new to PSP and using the current version - I wondered if there is a 
definitive list somewhere on-line of the scripts available for my 
version of PSP?

To be a bit more precise, scripts (and other resources for that matter) 
that go into their respective My Documents/My PSP Files/ folders aren't 
necessarily ones that you create personally.  Any such resources, created 
by yourself or others, that didn't come with the PSP installation should go 
into those folders.  That's because if you have to uninstall PSP for some 
reason, then re-install it, the folders in the Program Files folder will be 
deleted, and then re-created on the reinstall, including putting native PSP 
resources back there.  But if you have your third party stuff there, that 
will be deleted also and you'll have to re-create or re-locate them all 
again.  The folders in My Documents/My PSP Files don't get deleted with an 
uninstall, so you don't lose those additional resources.

Regards,

Thanks, I had actually managed to install the excellent triptych script 
- brilliant for me - I can see me using this for headers in my webdev work!

I'm afraid I'll more than likely be a user not a coder as far as these 
scripts go but thanks for the heads up.

I'm glad you did - I'm that bit wiser now thanks :-)
