Wow some good scripts coming in now.
Now I am a novice DAWS scripter – so would it be possible for peeps to explain the scripts – however I will try to diagnose the hurricane script.
This is my own reading of the script – please EDIT this post and correct my mistakes – by seeing how other scripts work you will be able to pinch bits from them and write your own - hopefully
OK Here goes.. but it seems that there are three scripts in one here
*** script to download, plot and upload radar ***********
Erase
Clears the map
load,c:\progra~1\digita~1\coast.dmf
loads a pre-created (and saved) map called coast.dmf
radar,bref1,amx mlb
plots base reflectivity radar from stations AMX and MLB onto the coast.dmf map.
export,c:\radar.jpg
saves the map + radar onto the local PC as radar.jpg.
upload,

FTP’s the saved radar plot up to a website
***** plots hurricane tracks ************

this is where I get lost ?? as I cannot not see the point of this – perhaps if the author had download some further data ?? – but missing is the line download…..
