You'll find the details of all scripts defined in the chapter entitled
"Script API" (kit_api.htm). You can access all the script-related material
via the "Scripting" link on the main page of the Kit manual.
Unfortunately, the EvalOnce script was dropped near the end of development
on V3.0, and I forgot to remove it from the evaluation sequence. There is
only one Evaluation script now for options. I'll get that fixed.
I guess I don't understand what's confusing about the statement "Invoke
Script X once, applying any changes". That translates to the following in
my mind: "ScriptX gets invoked and any changes it triggers are applied".
That's all that gets done in the engine, so what more detail do you want on
this?
With the documentation overhaul, I'm going to do a better job of getting
links into place. With regards to an index, I have no idea what the best
solution is. Creating and maintaining an index by hand is prohibitive. If
someone wants to identify a tool that will take a set of webpages and
generate a unified index for them, I'd love to hear about it. Beyond that,
better cross-links between pages may have to suffice.
