DropScript executes the script inside it and passes the paths of any files that were dropped on the app. The default one clones itself with any script you drop on it. So, you write your script in a way that just expects filenames as arguments, and then you drop your script on DropScript, which will create a new applet with your script inside. If your script doesn't do anything, I would guess that something is wrong with your script - maybe line endings?
