I've finally got round to releasing these two scripts as part of my 'S.E.Asian Duel' freebie - it didn't make sense to release them alone since they include hard-coded parameters for hand poses, designed to grip a specific prop. Downloads via the freebie links in my siggy. Many thanks to everybody on this (and other) forums who's been patient enough to answer my (sometimes, often?, stupid) questions.
The scripts basically turn a prop into a smartprop (i.e. position, orient and parent it correctly in the selected hand of the selected figure), and automatically apply the hand pose to grasp the prop (that's the 'plus' part).

The scripts are in plain text format, so you can examine, modify, laugh, or whatever. Personally I'm really pleased, because the scripts do exactly what I wanted. I can see plenty of room for tidying/improvement/adaption, and was hoping to open a discussion on how to improve these scripts if anybody's interested...
(N.B. the scripts are 'do-whatever-you-want-with-them' type licence/copyright, so you're more than welcome to adapt them on your own and use them as you see fit)
The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
*also available in ShareCG, DAZ, and HiveWire3D flavours (the DeviantArt and CGBytes flavour have been discontinued).
