i am writing a small program, which is intended to work with the
standard Windows Scripting Host. I would like to pass a variable to
this programm when starting it, like "program.vbs xy". how can i
retrieve xy in the program? Should be something like "vorgabe = %1"`,
but i couldn't find it out by guessing.

secondly, i would like to ask you for a few hints regarding good
vbs-pages in the internet (turorials, etc.).

thank you

Guessing is *such* a waste of time when the docs can be downloaded for offline use ;-)...

Start with the WSH 2.0 Tutorial and "...User's Guide" links.

The EXE links below are downloads of the complete documentation sets in HTMLHelp format - highly
recommended for offline use. The Tutorial and "...User's Guide" content is also included in the
downloaded documentation...
