It seems to me I should rather a) Run scripts directly (for instance, I can create a file with Visual FoxPro - copy the samples, as is, for a start - and run it), or b) Study the WinAPI, and run it without the W.

I would use the integrated approach when available. WSH, ADSI, WMI, etc. are great COM-based wrappers to the WinAPI. A lot of the WinAPI functionality that would require memory management and structure manipulation has been incorprated into those packages with an easy VFP friendly interface.
