- ====== Client Scripting Interface - Basic howto ======
+ ====== Client Scripting Interface ======
  
- ===== Purpose of this manual =====
- This Howto covers the scripting interface present in gtk and x11 client under linux and Windows (see notes at end).
+ The **client scripting interface** can be used to control a Crossfire client using an external program //(script)//. This interface can be used to extend the client or automate repetitive tasks (see [[client_side_scripting:scripts|sample scripts]]).
  
- ===== What is the Client Scripting Interface? =====
- Basically, the Client Scripting Interface is a way to have an external program (the script) interact client-side with your in-game behaviour. The script can have a copy of messages sent from the server to your client (there is a wide variety of such messages), can have a copy of messages sent from your client to the server (there are also lots of them), may request information (on a item, a map square ...) and finally can issue commands to the server. Lets call those actions, respectively, server-client spying, client-server spying, examining and interacting.
+ The script is started from the client and communicates by reading information from standard input and writing commands to standard output. A full list of commands can be found below.
  
  ===== How do I run my script =====
  
  ==== C/++, Perl, Python, Bash, and others ====
