You mean .wsf instead?

Yes. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBScript:

Usual file extensions: .vbs, .asp

VBScript .vbs files can be included in two other types of scripting files:
..wsf files, which are styled after XML; and .hta files, which are styled
after HTML.


I think that clears things up.

I don't think so.

Well, at least now I know what code to use (and not use) for various
purposes. I will need to use JavaScript for PDFs, at least for NitroPro and
probably Adobe 9, depending on which I decide to get. For simple windows
automation I can use the .js scripts I already have, but VBScripts may be
better if I need to do something more interactive (using an InputBox, eg).
For HTML I would surely use JavaScript or JScript. And for applications
such as Access and Excel I will need to use VBA.

But I still prefer to use Borland Delphi for most things that run on the
local machine. And I have written applications that use automation to
interface to properties, methods, and events of other applications,
particularly PADS Logic and PADS Layout.
