have you tried

  cat(rk.JS.doc(variables=rk.JS.scan("path/to/some_plugin.xml")))

yet?

it's not really much, but at least it fetches the variables out of the XML 
file and gives you a start.

sure, it's just an additional way of doing it. although i tried to cover 
certain cases to really save a lot of typing, for instance:

  test.vars <- rk.XML.vars("Select some vars", "Vars go here",
    formula.dependent="Dependent var")

  cat(pasteXMLNode(test.vars))

as for help files, try

  help.doc <- rk.rkh.doc(settings=rk.rkh.scan("path/to/some_plugin.xml"))

  cat(pasteXMLTree(help.doc))

rk.plugin.skeleton() calls these functions to create the JS and help files 
with something to start.

sure will, really having fun writing that stuff ;-)

ok, i'll take care of that these days.
