Sick. Head cold, chills, cough, fever. Bored out of my skull.
Can't read (blurry). SARS, without a doubt. So, when there's
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else to do, I troll The List.

No, sorry, I don't. But Jscript is mostly pretty simple stuff --
another scripting language, like Rexx or WSH; I wouldn't just write
it off as "gobbledygook" -- I'm not saying it's easy to write, but
rather that you ought to be able to figure out the general intent
of an existing script. Translation to "English" isn't going to give
you more than that: general intent.
