Terry:
You can run any "executable" file in your server (IIS). Taking into account the following:
- If your file contains HTML and/or JavaScript, save it as HTM or HTML. If includes VBScript MUST BE saved with ASP extension.
- Your files can be saved in any folder.
- Configure your IIS to set "Default Directory" pointing to that folder which have your files.
- Type http://localhost. If you have a file named index or default (asp/html) this file it will execute automatically, if not, a list of that default folder will be displayed so you can click the file to execute it.
- For a simple "Hello World" just write:

<%  
Response.Write "Hello World"
%>

Note the symbols

< %

and

% >

marks start and end of VBScript Code.
You can mix HTML, JavaScript and VBScript in one single page (file), but remember, if you include VBS that means an ASP extension.
There's a lot more... I think this is enough to get started.
