Is there a document describing the language subset they picked?

  Not sure (but probably yes): I seem to recall ECMAScript was mentioned, not sure what version number.

    Thanks! Those are good links. Unfortunately the manual is rather vague; it’s not clear what the ScriptEase language extensions to JavaScript are, versus adding more objects and methods, which I wouldn’t consider to be changing the language. I am not sure what they are talking about with this page about lifetimes: <https://brent-noorda.com/nombas/us/devspace/manual/c/html/TH_279.htm https://brent-noorda.com/nombas/us/devspace/manual/c/html/TH...>
