VBScript

Ian,

If the above code was intended for beginners (as I assume it was)
having the debugger and Stop statements will, I suggest, confuse those
with little familiarity with the Script Editor debugging. Those most
likely to need such simple scripts are also those most likely not to
understand (fully?) how debugging works in the Script Editor.

XDocument.UI.Alert ("This is a test.")

will work in both VBScript and JScript (add a semicolon in JScript, if
you prefer).
