This looks nice - especially the Examples column so people can get an 
idea how to use
them. As a related question: is there a way to enable groups in opensim, 
since this
would also be a good way to restrict the running of scripts, or even 
scripts containing
os functions, to only those who are members in a specific group. I 
looked through
the opensim.ini.example, but couldn't see such functionality.
