Screenwriting App????

[AxelausBerlin]

Hi!
I'm looking for some software that allows me to format a text as a script. As far as macros are not supported by any office-app for palm, it's very annoying to chance several format options every time I switch from "action"-text to "charakter", to "dialogue" and back.
The only app, I found was "Script right" (have a look here: http://www.scriptright.com/) which even can im- and export to / from FINAL DRAFT. But it's WinMobile only and I don't think, they will ever finish their palm-version.
So...
if anybody knows what FINAL DRAFT or SCREENWRITER does... I would love to have this on my palm!
Can somebody help?

Thanx a lot!

You can try to figure this one out-

I guess they're UNIX scripts, maybe they'll work on a Mac?

If the exported pages are in good format, maybe FD or MM Screenwriter will import them okay?

There should be some way to make it work, basically the process is-

1. Write your script on your Palm in a text file with some basic markup tags for the different formatting types.
2. Take that text file, apply the CSS and out pops your script in proper format.
3. Save the HTML page, and maybe import into MM Screenwriter, etc.

The author has added more fancy stuff like automatically fetching the Palm file from the Palm, but that really isn't necessary anymore since we can edit straight text files stored on a memory card...
