It's possible. The logic behind the script will be fairly straightforward.

The main problem that I foresee is the user interface. I haven't figured out yet how to use dials or sliders in the P6 style dialog user interface - and maybe it's just plain impossible.

I am busy writing a comprehensive widget library for P6 style dialogs. I will certainly try to get working sliders or dials into the library.

Tkinter is another graphical user interface framework that comes with Poser, but in my experience it's clunky and rather unpredictable in its behavior. Besides, Tkinter on Mac doesn't work in P5 and P6 - the versions of Tkinter that are incorporated in P5 (Python 2.0) and P6(Python 2.2) are broken on Mac OSX.
The advantage of Tkinter is that it is plainly possible to make sliders - several scripts in freestuff (including at least one of mine) use Tkinter sliders.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
