Does anybody know a way to get the behaviour of LotusScript
I am not aware of any way to natively print Java code to the status bar.
The only way you could do it, is to convert your code to Java classes, create a "print" method for the class, and then activate them in LotusScript using the JavaSession object in LotusScript. Once you have activated it in LotusScript, you can use the print method to assign it to a variable and then call the LotusScript "print" function. A roundabout way, but in essence you need to execute a "print" command within LotusScript
