Well I have no idea even what the diff is between darwin, IOS, and all 
the other stuff apple did....

I also can't promise that I will be able to fix any of this.

I was able to find my way through the intel 64 bit stuff in pascal 
script.  And I would give it a try. (but I do need stuff like ABI info 
(and I have no indent to read dozens of pages.) It is not my idea to 
maintain pascal script. But I would like it to work, where I can archive 
it with little effort, as it is used by the EditorMacro script.

The consequence si that only people with cectain CPU/OS will be able to 
use pascalScript macros in the IDE.
