I’ve written a Visual Basic Script (VBS) to add new tasks to Tracks via the API. General operation is similar to the Quicksilver scripts available for OS X.

You can download the zipfile. Let me know if you find it useful.

From the readme:

‘———————————————————————————————————————
‘ Prerequisites:
‘ ‘ You’ll need a version of Tracks that supports the XML-RPC API. At this time
‘ I believe that functionality only exists in the SVN trunk.
‘ ‘ You’ll need to download and install a copy of PocketXML-RPC from
‘ http://www.pocketsoap.com/pocketXMLRPC/. I’ve tested this with v. v1.2.1,
‘ released February 26, 2005.
‘ ‘ You may also want a hotkey launcher to activate the script. I use HoeKey
‘ (http://www.bcheck.net/apps/hoe.htm) but other options exist.
‘———————————————————————————————————————
‘ Usage:
‘ ‘ Edit ‘Add to Tracks.vbs’, adding the URL of you Tracks host, your Tracks
‘ username, your Tracks API, and the context ID to which new tasks should be
‘ added.
‘ ‘ Save and run the file. A dialog box will appear, allowing text entry. Text
‘ will be added as a new task to the context you’ve defined above. Per Windows
‘ convention [Enter] saves, [Esc] cancels.
