    Hi Harish,

    SKILL can only be executed or run in an executable that has a SKILL interpreter built into it.  From the command line you can use skill for programs that only use core-SKILL functions, dbAccess for those that need to interact with the database, and virtuoso -nograph for all other programs.  Since you mention "widget", I'm assuming this is a GUI/graphical entity, in which case you will need the last of the above, since dbAccess and skill do not contain any GUI programming. In addition to the -nograph argument you will probably need to use the -replay argument to load and run a SKILL script.

    Hopefully this answers your question?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
