It's probably worth pointing out one change in ID CS that is used in 
this example: you can now say "set character x to..." instead of "set 
contents of character x to..." and "... where character x = ..." 
instead of "... where contents of character x = ...".

Apart from saving a bit of typing (and reducing the risk of line 
wrap!), this probably won't mean much to people new to scripting. But 
for those of us bringing along old habits, this will save oodles of 
time spent wondering why some otherwise correct statements aren't 
working.
