I don't know much about .NET. Most devs involved with Scid use Linux. Gerd Lorscheid 

is the notable exception. Perhaps the Scid mailing list might have some suggestions ?

>- Invoke TCL commands via some kind of .NET/TCL integration. I have not figured out whether this is possible though since SCID has its own TCL interpreter, so using .NET implementation of TCL interpeter won't quite work if I get the picture correctly.
Hmmm - I think scripting is probably restricted to the tcl based "tcscid". ?
There's some examples of this in "src/scripts" directory for anyone else curious about it
(and some more interesting ones, recently on the Scid mailing list).

This link is the only reference i know about:
      http://scid.sourceforge.net/doc/progref.html

I'll have to overhaul this page and incorporate this into Scid vs. PC's doco somewhere.
