Advanced (python) PSP Scripting: where to start.

As a developer I was curious to learn something about how psp scripts works and at first I was unable to find some documentation to understand how to write / edit a psp script by hand. Like an api references and/or some tutorials.

From the PSP guide I've found out this statement:
Available from the Corel Knowledge Base (accessible from www.support.corel.com) is a document titled Scripting for Script Authors, which contains complete and advanced scripting information for Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo. To find this document, choose Paint Shop Pro from the Products and Services drop-list, then enter script in the Search Text field.

But the url doesn't seems to work and even if I go to http://kb.corel.com I can't find that document..


So I googled a bit and found out the corel ftp site:


There you can find this useful documents:

p.s.
I've found the right url for corel support for psp scripting:
http://corel.custhelp.com/ - but on this page the PSP XI version of api isn't listed for what I saw. See: Where can I learn more about the Python scripting used in Paint Shop™ Pro®?

Unpacking Corel Paint Shop Photo X2 Ultimate



This is the italian box.. I've took some picture as I've got it but just downloaded them to my pc today. This post is dedicated to people who are interested in buying PSP, and in particular the ultimate bundle, so they can have a better idea of what they can get. But anyway please not that I'm not sure that it is the same for all.. I mean.. maybe there are differences from country to country and maybe the usb stick is not always branded toshiba and so on.. this is just my box!
