Under Resources for this podcast, you kindly mention a web services script. Just for the record, it appears on Tobias’s site, but I wrote it. I also, as you called out, decorated it using the AutoHelp stuff.
Also, the term AutoHelp is one I coined as there was not real term to cover it. I am hopeful it will catch on.
Keep up the great work.
