Article: [oats-sig] Dasher for programmers.

How about adding this as a comment to the Dasher and AutoHotKey entries? I
think it would be useful!

Great to find someone else evangelising about AutoHotKey!

Cheers.

Thanks Andre, that's a really useful enhancement plus a great example of
what how AutoHotKey can solve a problem
(http://www.oatsoft.org/Software/AutoHotKey). The instructions help make it
useful to others with less technical experience.

Such user-supplied customisations are a great thing to have on OATSoft as
they add value based on real-world user solutions to problems. So can we
find somewhere for these 'scripts' to live on OATSoft?

The Forge seems overkill (at least until they develop into something
larger) so perhaps we could have a 'snippets' repository?
Or should we just create a normal entry for each script Or place under the
host program - AutoHotKey in this case?
