Creative Much?

So one of the the cool things in the virtual worlds (my opinion) is scripts/scripting.  What are scripts?  "Scripts can control the behavior of in-world objects".  If you are are not a "scripter" you can find many free scripts and drop them in the content of an object...
Scripts look like this in your inventory and some are in a folder with the name under which it was  purchased (hope that makes sense).  It looks like this...
You can drag a script from your inventory into an object as shown in following video...

You can also create a new script in the content area (there's a button) and delete what is there and paste a script.   I am pasting a script below the following line...
