Adding a visual basic script into E-Prime

[David McFarlane]

Without going into great detail, although E-Prime does derive from 
Visual Basic for Applications, it provides a highly customized and 
specialized platform (otherwise there would be no point to using it 
instead of straight VB).  IOW, it is rather more (and less) than just 
a VB platform with an added library of routines.  So you cannot 
simply copy & paste VB code and expect it to work.  In particular, 
the code that you reference contains a class definition, and the 
geniuses at PST do not allow us to define our own custom classes in 
E-Basic <sigh>.

BTW, I don't know why everybody calls this "script" instead of 
"code", *especially* when referring to straight VB instead of E-Basic 
-- I have read through several VB books, the word "script" never 
appears there and they uniformly refer to "code" (just like at the 
link that you posted).
