VBScript from a C++ Programmer's Point of View

The purpose of this document is to list some of the many things that I tend to forget about VBScript when I've been away from it for a while. Strangely enough, a lot of this stuff is hard to find in MSDN.

Comments are started with either the keyword rem or an apostrophe ('). There is no block comment (like /* */ in C++).
HTML Comments look like this: 
Line continuation in VBScript is done explicitly with the underscore character _.
Including other files is done with a #include directive inside HTML comments, starting at the beginning of a line. For example:

It is conventional to give a file specifically meant to be included in another file a .inc extension.
A "Function" returns a value. When you call a function you do have to use parentheses around the arguments. Here's an example of a function, showing how to return a value.
```
    Function VBIsWeird
      VBIsWeird = true
    End Function
				
```
A "sub"-procedure (commonly referred to as both a Sub and a procedure) doesn't return a value. Here's an example:
```
    Sub DoSomething(FirstParam, SecondParam)
      'Do something here
    End Sub    
				
```
To call a sub, you don't use parentheses. Actually, you can use the optional call statement to call a sub, and if you do, then parentheses are required. Here are some examples:
```
    DoSomething Param1, Param2
    Call DoSomething(Param1, Param2)
				
```
