Previous versions of PrimalScript relied on MSDN documentation for Windows Script Host (WSH) and VBScript help. The problem with that documentation was that it was skimpy and aimed at web developers. To solve that problem SAPIEN Press has published WSH and VBScript Core: TFM. This is a complete reference written for Windows administrators. Instead of short, meaningless examples, this book provides complete syntax, descriptions, and real-world practical examples. Now you can see the VBScript statement, function, or method in action.
PrimalScript 2007 has integrated the syntax and samples from the book to serve as the help system for VBScript and WSH. The VBScript/WSH help system covers every function, statement, property and object including the FileSystemObject and the DictionaryObject. Now when you are working in a script using the wscript.network object and don’t remember how to use EnumerateNetworkDrives, you can press F1 and get meaningful and real help including a practical example.
You can also undock the help panel and move it off to the side where you can resize it to display more of the help topic. This is a great way to learn about scripting and of course you can copy and paste the examples right into your own scripts.
