It would be just perfect if BBO could also add the rights to host pairs events for Prime Members, to go with the the other privileges. Event size could be restricted, if required, to say, 40 pairs.

I would have thought anyone with experience of writing code could get by with examples of script, like the one provided above. I have more problems figuring out how to run it (maybe because I am not Prime) than how to write it.
There's no need to be on Prime. Simply choose Casual>Start a Bidding Table, then click Start Table. From the 'hamburger menu' choose Deal Source, then choose Advanced (instead of the default 'use random deals'). Tick the checkbox titled 'Use this input for the dealer program', and then paste the script into the space below - where it says 'Use this input . . .' Then simply exit this panel with the X at top right. There's no save button. The script I gave above awards N a 1NT opener every time. Ticking the other available checkbox assigns it to N or S at random, so both players can practice responses. The same panel has a button link to the syntax to write your own scripts. Takes about 5 mins for most types of deal.

Which is fine if you want to ride in a horse and buggy instead of having a smooth ride in an easy to use learning machine which is what you get for a few dollars more by combining prime with playbridge and taking a few minutes to work out how to use them.
