Not sure I understand the question, but I'll take a stab at it anyway: I wrote Skctl in Python so it would work on Windows and Mac and probably even Linux out of the box. You can do the same sort of thing in VBScript or Javascript on Windows. AppleScript will let you do some, but I'm not sure you can do all of what I do with Skype events in AppleScript. Translating Skctl into either language would, I think, be quite a bit of work, which is why I picked one language that runs in both places.

Could this be scripted on Windows via a batch script or on Mac via an Apple script?
