     FTR, AFAICT he does *not* "want files themselves to do reads and   
   writes of other files". (I think) That's your misunderstanding. The   
   'files' are not "data objects", but a VBScript (myvbscript[.vbs]), i.e.   
   it *is* a program. That's clear by the fact that the .vbs file *is*   
   executed.   
      
     I don't know how a .vbs file gets executed, but I assume it works like   
   .exe and .bat files that the command interpreter (cmd.exe) sees that   
   myvbscript is actually myvbscript.vbs and hence calls wscript.exe to   
   execute myvbscript.vbs.   
      
     Rudy's problem is that he can't imagine that someone interprets his   
   posts in any other way than he does. If there's another interpretation,   
   it's the other guy's fault and things go downhill from there.
