I can recommend the following tutorial on Rhinoscript, you can do more
than plain macros as it uses VB. It is also possible to create an
external VB program that accesses Rhino. When I played with it that
is what I did and it made user interaction much easier.

There are lots of functions for VBscripting that don't need the user
to intervene once the basic selection has been done which really helps
automation. I managed a sort of tool path creator and simulator but
it was only very basic and not very useful.
