Microsoft's MSDN has good coverage for much of what is available. e.g. file usage: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/czxefwt8(VS.85).aspx
They also have an area dedicated to JScript, which I haven't sifted through yet. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4yyeyb0a(VS.85).aspx Whenever I need something, I just google for an english description of what I want, like "how to ... in JScript". You usually end up wading through a bunch of javascript web development specific stuff. But, eventually you hit a JScript example in a user forum somewhere.
