I'm not much concerned with writing to other script files, I am concerned
with scripts that are smtp engines and access the address book or change
registry settings or edit the registry on remote machines or any of the
other special features monad has that makes it ideal for administrators
looking to script some of their duties.
What would I like to see, I'd like to see the scripting functions disabled
as the default setting so that it can be enabled only on machines where
it's needed. That simple default setting will make it useless to virus
writers.
