That's the important question here. Maybe vbs isn't the best tool to use for that and a .bat file is better. For some purposes it is.
Anyway you'll find full documentation for Windows scripting in

You know, this is real programming. And it's a real profession to be a programmer. I happen to know a lot of people earning their money by programming.
Hope this helps.

Well letme introduce my self, hi im Greg and im 16, anyway i just decided to learn scripting for a Private server i help run for a game. So i was reading some basics etc etc and i have a few questions that the guides dont answer at all really. I run on Windows XP Home edition. Also the first script thing i was able to do was open up notepad type:
Wscript.echo "blah blah blah"
then save as with a ".vbs" extension on it and double click it on my desktop to reveal my stupid message in a Windows box.
So please answer my question by telling me how to do it this way unless u wanna explain it in a new way.
Im wondering: (im sure an awesome guide is out there link me if u have one as i feel pretty dumb asking these questions...)
1)How does some one know what to put? the Guides i saw only told me how to do a small message thing as i said up there and dont explain what to type in where and when depending on what u want to do
2)Why are there sometimes random "spaces" before lettering such as this:
~no space~
~<-- random spaces!!~
(Hope you understand what i mean with that)
3)Am i rushing into to fast into this without knowing something else first?
4)How do u make a script that will bring up a question and show different options to choose from in a box that shows up like my very first script
Well i hope i don't sound completely stupid here.
Ill wait for you masters of script to answer me or whatever thank you ahead of time.
