I don't know about SCR files in Windows, and I haven't done any homework
at all on the subject, but I have heard that they appear to work like
executable programs. I do know that Windows has some kind of built in
script interpreters. Maybe SCR is to Windows as BAS is to BASIC. Would
such an analogy have any element of validity?
This is just a question I am asking, and not an opinion formulated from
any careful analysis of facts. I've already admitted that I haven't done
my homework, and that I know very little about the subject. Now with that
already having been admitted, I hope I don't get flamed for my ignorance.
