In short, scripts really are that halfway point between batch files and fullfledged
programming languages.

Learning the Basics of VBScript
As with JavaScript, this chapter doesn??™t provide a VBScript tutorial. Unfortunately, VBScript is also
less popular than JavaScript, so you won??™t find as many resources online for using it. However, a
few developers still use VBScript for their application needs. The main VBScript Web site is at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t0aew7h6.aspx
. This Web site includes a VBScript
user??™s guide and language reference. You can find another good reference on the W3Schools Web
site at
http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/vbscript_ref_functions.
