You can get more information on the WSH (part of Win98 and Win2K, and addable to almost any system by running a self-installing, redistributable exectable that can be downloaded from the same web site) at msdn.microsoft.com/scripting

I have windows scripting and use it for all sorts of fun things like drive mappings, and adding printers. I must admit that I am complexed by how this would serve me in the area of DOS functions. I was reading a little on the interrupts and thought that would be a little more self explanable, but it wasnt. Any direction on how I might deploy a WIndows script that would simulate a DOS XCOPY or DELTREE funtion.
