I have posted to this group, and see other posts, where people are
very keen to integrate the Seamonkey technology in various ways within
other applications.

In my case, all I want to do is have a JSSHELL with support for the
intrinsic objects, particularly the File, Environment and System
objects that supposedly exist, so I can deploy platform-independent
scripts for various purposes that have a pretty lightweight framework
(i.e runtime support) around them.

This would be a killer app for lots of reasons, and the code seems to
be almost there, but I have had no response to my posting. This seems
a shame, since presumably a lot of development time and effort has
gone into Seamonkey.

I know, given a large investment in time and effort, I could work out
from the fractured documentation and the code how to do this but both
myself and others posting for assistance have received only a
deafening silence. This is a bit of a shame, since I am an
enthusiastic fan of open source and I really want Mozilla and its
technology to form the basis of a complete application development
framework.

Can anyone clarify for me how you build a JSSHELL with support for the
intrinsic objects that are documented in the readme file that comes
with the shell project. I have tried following the instructions I
could glean from the documentation and other postings but have not
been successful.
