For full details on using the MSE, open Help from the MSE menu, and select Microsoft Script

Editor Help. There are several Help topics related to using the MSE, as shown in Figure 17.9.

The MSE’s Help file is web-based, so it is only available if you are connected to the

Internet.

The VBScript Help File ............................................................................................

As mentioned in Chapter 9, Microsoft has provided a Help file for VBScript that is a model of good

design and usefulness (unlike the Help files for Office 2007); to get this Help file, download the

Microsoft Windows Script 5.6 Documentation file from the Microsoft Web site at http://www

.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=01592C48-207D-4BE1-

8A76-1C4099D7BBB9&displaylang=en.

The Help file (script56.chm) is a compiled HTML Help file, which can be opened in both

Windows XP and Windows Vista. Unlike the MSE’s own Help file, the script56.chmfile is

available whether or not you are connected to the Internet, although you do have to have a con-

nection to download the file.
