More people use JavaScript than use VBScript. You can use both scripting languages (and
many others) at the command line. However, if you??™re learning a new scripting language
and want to obtain the maximum benefits from your efforts, JavaScript is by far the more
popular of the two scripting languages. Not only can you use it with ease for work at the
command line, you??™ll also find it in use on many Web sites. JavaScript is also standardized
across multiple platforms, which means it??™s conceivable that an application you create can
run equally well on a Macintosh or a Linux system as it does on your Windows system.
Of course, you must use standards-based programming techniques to obtain this level of
cross-platform support.

Always document your batch files using the
REM
command. The batch file you document
might require modifications later and you don??™t want to spend hours relearning how the
batch file works.
