Microsoft has a bunch of VBS documentation online that you should be able to 
use.  I do not think there is any consolidated PDF freely available for VBS, 
though I am sure there are actual books on VBS available for purchase.

Maybe you can start here:

Subject: Searching for VBScript manual (for MG emulator)

I'm using MF emulator PASSPORT PC TO HOST which uses macros for automated input.
The macros uses VBScript as the macro language.

I need an extensive and complete manual for VBScript, but despite much googling 
the best I found is severely lacking. Does anyone have a link to such a manual?

I have succeded to create working macros, relatively large, but when I try to 
improve them I got stuck on unexpected behaviours.
