Editor's note: This is the sixth column in a continuing interactive series on scripting that appears monthly on SearchWinSystems.com. You can send any scripting questions to the author, Christa Anderson, at editor@searchwincomputing.com.

In last month's column I introduced you to one set of objects you may use in your scripts -- the ones found in the scripting host itself. This month, you'll learn how to use an important object collection in Windows Scripting Host: named arguments.
