[Kst] Documentation - was RE: Using scalars in drawable objects

[Mark Dammer]

Scripting sounds interesting but my problem is that I cannot find any
documentation that describes how the scripting works and what is
possible. An integrated help system that ideally explains everything and
allows searching by keyword - the usual press F1 and you get help would
be a great improvement of Kst.
