I'm told VBS comes with MS OSes, and that if I had an example script of
a vbs program, I could see how it works by double clicking on the file.
Does someone have a simple program that I could try that on? Maybe
something that simply prints some text or prints the results of a simple
calculation. I'm using Win 7.

OK, I used notepad to put the line of text above into a a vbs file,
tryit.vbs. Clicking on it twice only brought it up in Notepad. What is
watch wrap?

I then went to the first link and found a similar one line piece of
code. I presume that it would work as described, but was surprised to
see that it needs to be done in the command window. Is that generally
how one executes scripts?

I went to the other link, doc website, and downloaded the script56 chm
file. When I opened it, a dialog came up that looked like a Help dialog.
In the large window on the right, it says navigation to the web
canceled. I'm using FFox. Is it supposed to open web pages.

The wrap is that you put the code into a file called wolf.vbs.txt. Now if
you make it wolf.vbs then it will work.

Clicking it twice does not work. Notepad comes up. I'm using Win7.
