From: "Gary Britt" 

I played around with your script and made these modifications so it would
take two arguments.  The first is the message text and the second is the
window title text.  Remember I have no idea what I'm doing but this works
and formats the message box more to my liking (wink).

>>>Say.vbs<<<<

set args = wscript.arguments

if args.count > 0 then
   msgbox args(0) + "                ", vbinformation, args(1)
end if


>>>Say.vbs<<<<



And I dug this out of some .js file that comes with windows (yours is more
elegant).  This will run outside of a browser:


>>>>>>Say.js<<<<<<<


var vbOKCancel = 0 // Use 1 here To get two buttons OK, Cancel; 2 gives you
three buttons, Abort, Retry, Ignore; 3 gives you three buttons, Yes, No,
Cancel;
var vbInformation = 64;
var vbCancel = 2;

var L_Welcome_MsgBox_Message_Text   = "Put Message Text Here";
var L_Welcome_MsgBox_Title_Text     = "Put Title Of Pop-up Window Here";
//
//  Call Message Box Function
//
Welcome();


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////
//
// Message Box Function
//

function Welcome() {
    var WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
    var intDoIt;

    intDoIt =  WSHShell.Popup(L_Welcome_MsgBox_Message_Text,
                              0,
                              L_Welcome_MsgBox_Title_Text,
                              vbOKCancel + vbInformation );
    if (intDoIt == vbCancel) {
        WScript.Quit();
    }
}
