My vote is: NO there is NO SUCH thing as the FileScriptingObject. A google
search for the word yields a number of hits, however much of the
functionality description would apply equally to the FileSystemObject. One
site (
http://www.ssemi.net/index.php?pl=192&nc=1) gives a script listing
under a heading of "FileScriptingObject Sample Code". The first comment in
the code, however, calls itself: "FileSystemObject Sample Code", and, even
though it purports to instantiate an instance of a "FileScriptingObject"
object, all of the methods seem identical to those of the more familiar File
System Object.
