Graal needs menus (File, Edit, Tools, Help, etc.), mainly for newbies who don't know all the keystrokes for things like pulling up the PM windom, or taking screenshots.
Also, perhaps, there could be a menu(s) in the NPC script editing window, so you could just click something in a menu to automatically add script commands, so you don't have to type them out.

I found some program somewhere, that had stuff like for graal scripting. You could bring down a drop-down menu and select 'lay blue' and it would input the script to lay a blue gralat. Too bad I can't get the file since I got a new hard-drive, and my old one is screwed.

If so, then it should CERTAINLY be just an option, and not compulsary. Good scripters would find it useless and kinda insulting.

Right. RPG Maker presents you with a list of commands which is great for newbies, but rather limiting for experienced programmers. If that feature is incorporated, it should STRICTLY be an option - something like the menus for TI-Basic on the TI-85 and up. You can either choose from the menus or type it in yourself.
