Can anyone give me a quickoverview (no links please to description of a script, maybe to some vb scripting tutorials though :P) on what a script consists of, and how they work?

Thanks.

A script is generally a short program in a stripped-down language that is used manipulate another program.

In VB, you can use the MS Script Control (msscript.ocx).

Ok say I wanted to make a script and bind it to a key on my keyboard (I have unused keys...), I know how to link the key but how do I make it a script, because to the best of my knowledge scripts don't use as many resources as a program.

[edit]And how do I start the program as a script in VB? I need some sort of a direction or instruction on how to make a script in VB[/edit]

Well, the classic way to script is to put your commands into a plain-text file.

On windows, call the file blah.bat.
On linux, give the program permissions 0700 (chmod 0700 blahscript).

Then just type the name to run it.

1. How does the OS know how to compile it as a VB file if I write it in VB?

2. What do you mean by just type the name? If I just typed the name in an msn chat room it would execute the script?

No, type the name from a shell, either cmd.exe or bash or kshcr or whatever you like
