making scripts for opening links in new tab
Damascus
to it that i would like the links to open in a new tab. and vice
versa another usercript where i add domains to the script which open
links only in the current tab
cc
http://wiki.greasespot.net/GM_openInTab, which should do more or less
what you want. (An alternative might be to add target="_blank"
attributes to the links from the script, but I seem to remember I've had
odd problems with that in the past.)

myself, which is why i came here. but i did look at the second link-
should i copy the Example code to a txt file then add to greasemonkey?
also what is the format for adding multiple domains to it?

likely to write good scripts, and you'll go through a lot of needless
frustration. Plus, most of us on the list are interested mostly in
helping others learn, not in writing their scripts for them.
If you do just want a script written fast, give direct requests a try:
just state your exact requirements, including sample pages (URLs
please!) and ask if anyone can write the script for you. You may or may
not get any responses, but it's much more polite than dragging helpful
strangers through the torturous process of teaching an unwilling learner
how to script.

newbies who don't have time to write themselves.
eventually it would be nice to have a larger base of easy-to-find
greasemonkey scripts that are particular to what we need, similar to
Mozilla's addons that are grouped by category and rating. one day
greasemonkey's list of scripts might become so large it might be
optimal to categorize everything, as well as have a real message board
rather than a email group or whatever this is.

It turns out that this database already exists since about five years.
It is called Userscripts.org [1] and it currently contains a couple
of dozens of thousands scripts. The search function is not
particularly elaborated but it works. The scripts are (generally)
tagged (if the script author bothered to do it). Searching for
general purpose scripts however can be kind of a challenge.
The site also features an active forum [2] and within it, a fixed
thread for scripts requests [3].
Regardless of all this, judging by the way you've formulated your
requirement, I'm fearing that your understanding of how Greasemonkey
works or what it exactly does is not altogether correct. As the
previous poster suggested, it would be helpful if you formulated your
requirement from a pure functional point of view. Then others in this
list or in the us.o forum could give advice whether this is possible
with Greasemonkey at all, and eventually come with a hint to a
solution.
