You can iterate through markers and other drawings using the `ForEach Marker' statement. You can read its properties; certain properties can also be assigned-to.
Markers/drawings can be created using the PCC starchart, or with the `NewMarker' command and its relatives. If some property can't be changed the way you wish, simply delete the marker and create it anew.
Scripts inside marker context can't suspend (using `Stop'). Markers do not have a unique handle, so PCC would not know where to wake them up again.
