Re: Scripting help - PathCns

[Dan Yargici <dan(at)imajonline.com>]

Demian,

I would also recommend Helge's scripting series availble from 
3dTutorial.com - it's really pushed me along and I've only finished 2 
chapters.  Really clear explanations and totally OM oriented.

Now I finally understand why everyone suggests using Jscript over 
VBscript, I'm finding it waaaaay nicer.

I decided to try and convert your script to jscript OM code, I'll polish 
it up and post it tomorrow (I'd like to get some crits from the brains 
here too as I'm sure I'm doing some things a bit shabbily.... but I did 
manange to make it %99.9 OM)
