Introduction - Disclaimer

This information, prepared for our internal use, focuses on a scripting environment, QtScript, that has been built in as the native scripting tool for Tw. QtScript is an EMCA script, virtually equivalent to JavaScript with some additional modifications (mostly in prototyping) made by Nokia the makers of Qt, and the Api that the developers make available for Tw itself.

There are Tw modules for incorporating Python and Lua as well, though at present the full Tw Api may not be available to those tools.

I've tried here merely to pull together information on the Api for Tw and some references on using QtScript peculiar to Tw, that we rely on and use.

I have tried to generalise these where this may be useful.

It is my hope that others may find this some help, and we give it back as our small contribution to the Tw and TeX community.
