A Messier Tour of M1,33,42,43 and 45 is my goal. However I am stuck on the correct way to code the scripting commands.
Any hints would be appreciated.

Hi Peter
The script feature is still a work in progress. There are some sample scripts available but they still need a little work. We will eventually have a program to convert your old scripts to the new form. The change to Qt meant that a new script engine needed to be designed from the ground up so it is taking a little time to get going.
The current scripts are accessed from the configuration menu. The old "m" tui system is no longer available but a substitute will eventually be included.
At the moment the stop button will freeze the program and the only way to stop a running program is by closing Stellarium. Also at the moment the sample scripts do not return the screen to your default position so it is difficult to know when they finish, there is no way yet to pause a script and sound is not working yet although I think the Mac version has basic sound..
Try the screensaver.ssc script and have a look at its structure. This could be a basis for your messier tour. I modified some of my old scripts and they work nearly as well as in version 0.9.1 but there are no commands yet to do some of the things I like to see in a script.
