Command Line Arguments

In a script (.vbs file), how do I capture command-line arguments? Say I have
a script named "Script.vbs" at C:\, which contains the following code:

MsgBox Command

then run it from a DOS window (at the C:\ prompt) by typing:

Script.vbs "Test"

I want a message-box to pop up with "Test" in it. However, all I get is a
blank message-box with an 'OK' button.

What do I need to put in the place of 'Command'???

You could try this:

Set Args = WScript.Arguments

Then you would have Args.Count for the number of arguments, and an array
Args(0) to Args(Args.Count-1)

You can use wscript.Arguments
