Debbie,

Welcome!

You are at the right place. You will find that people here are pretty friendly.

Some resources for you -
Brainbuzz - Forum and example scripts
scripting@wanadoo.nl - scripting, tools & other stuff

The Kixtart Archives, Ruud has provided some good "real-time" examples of what to do with the commands within Kixtart.

If you ask questions, we usually try to be "gentle."

HTH,

- Kent

Welcome Debbie,
This first thing you need to do is make a plan on what you expect the login script to do.
Once you have it planned, put your plan out and we will help y ou with it!.

Welcome Debbie!
I think it's a good idea to start reading the manuel.
So you know how you can get some variables.
If you have any questions you can alway post them here.

Hi Debbie, a hearty welcome from the great white north and welcome to the board !

In addition to the above, I would suggest that you you start small and build your script in layers - getting each (small) piece to function properly - only then, adding extra layers of complexity. I would start by building a simple login script that displays the user's name and maybe some othert environmental details (see the @MACRO section of the manual) ... then move on to plain drive mappings and then group based drive mappings ...

One helpful thing for me is looking at the UDFs (User Defined Functions) that have been posted. They are very easy to implement, and keep you from having to reinvent the wheel. There are a lot of things all of us do over and over these will help A LOT. Plus you get some insight on how to actually apply commands you may not understand.
