9.4. Creating a Script

Scripts are stored in an ASCII (plain text) format. Any text editor, such as Notepad, can create text files. If you choose a program such as Word or Wordpad to create scripts, you must save the file as a text file and not their native format.

To put it simply, a script is simply a list of commands, one-on-a-line, and then saved into a file. There are no prerequisites in script filenames except the file extension. The file extension relates to the language the script is created in. For VBScript scripts, this is .vbs , while for JScript, it is .js .
