Very nifty! This and Bruce's AppleScript Xtra make Director about as
powerful as you want to it be. BWAHAHA.

Windows script host is very powerful. You can connect to databases, load,
parse, and transform XML, control other apps -- just about anything. I use
it all the time.

The host is generally available for most modern versions of Win... (98+),
but it often turned off by anti-virus software for obvious reasons. I am not
sure about the control. I assume it is freely distributable.
