 DPC> What error does .vbs give?

exactly as it is written below, cut and pasted into a notepad file and
renamed to blah.vbs...

Script:  C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\blah.vbs
Line:    1
Char:    43
Error:   Expected end of statement
Code:    800A0401
Source:  Microsoft VBScript compilation error

seems that some wordwrap and character replacement schitt got in the way...
"key =" should start on a line of its own for one thing... i just
tried moving that one part to a new line and everything worked... wierd, i
must have been too tired last night when i was messing with it as i was
also getting stuff about invalid characters, too...

oh well... it works now... thanks! it was a small learning experience...
