You guessed right ;-)  Indeed, I'm looking for some easy way to add 
scriptability to Kile (as easy as DCOP for example). Somehow I think 
KJSEmbed should be suited for that, however
all the example deal with writing KDE applications in JScript.

Use the source . . ., it figures.

Btw, why did you decide on JScript and not Python, any reason? Python 
also requires you to write the bindings manually. Anyway if the Kate 
part will allow JScript scripting, then perhaps I should try to do the 
same. Otherwise users end up with two scripting languages.

best,
Jeroen
