i'm trying to use it in a .vbs.  the pager number will be a variable
and the message will be a variable.  the wscript syntax looks like
this:

this will work perfect.  but when i try using variables i can't get it
right to make it work. example:

space=chr(32)
pager="1234567"
msg="This is my text message."
ending=chr(34) + chr(41) ' this is the ending characters= ")

anybody know how to handle this so i can use variables?

tia

pager="1234567"
msg="This is my text message."

 wscript.run(appstring)

There's also no such method as WScript.Run...

set shell = createobject("wscript.shell")
shell.run <whatever>

  While + and & can both be used to concatenate strings, VB Script can have
  problems using + when the string is all numbers, as in a pager PIN number.
  Also, I don't think you can fake the ") at the end, it just becomes part of
  the string.  Also, embed the space after nvpage and mobilecom rather than
  declaring another variable, if the format isn't going to change.

  pager="1234567"
  msg="This is my text message."

   wscript.run(appstring)
