Yes there is something called "Windows Scripting Host" available in Win98,
maybe 95 with IE4 or 5. One clue as to whether or not it is installed is the
presence of a file in your Windows directory called "wscript.exe".
I'
ve not actually used it or seen an example script. I've been meaning to try it
out for a while now, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Maybe a Internet search for "Windows Scripting Host" or "wscript.exe" will
turn up something useful.
