Thanks, but the link doesn't seem to match the version of VBScript that the
emulator use.

All of the search results (that is relevant) is either a doc/manual for a
specific software that uses VBScript as a part of it and/or is a form of
VBScript that is an object oriented version. Which is not used/needed(?) in
the emulator.

The problem I'm having is partly very basic (as I'm ignorant in the
matter), e g coding "If  a not = b" is wrong, although "If  not a = b" is
right. Exactly such things seem to be lacking in most if the docs I read.

And partly things like:
'str2 is "this is parm strings like,a no 1 xx,b no 2 yy,c no 3 zz"
str1 = Split(str2,",",-1,1)
str3 = str1(2)
str4 = Split(str3," ",-1,1)
' Here str4(2) is NOT "2".
'In short, splitting strings in a result from an array (created by a
split()) doesn't seem to work.
(This is a simplyfied example.)
