1) In computer programming, a script is a program or sequence of
instructions that is interpreted or carried out by another program rather
than by the computer processor (as a compiled program is).

Some languages have been conceived expressly as script languages. Among the
most popular are Perl, REXX (on IBM mainframes), JavaScript, and Tcl/Tk. In
the context of the World Wide Web, Perl, VBScript, and similar script
languages are often written to handle forms input or other services for a
Web site and are processed on the Web server. A JavaScript script in a Web
page runs "client-side" on the Web browser.

In general, script languages are easier and faster to code in than the more
structured and compiled languages such as C and C++ and are ideal for
programs of very limited capability or that can reuse and tie together
existing compiled programs. However, a script takes longer to run than a
compiled program since each instruction is being handled by another program
first (requiring additional instructions) rather than directly by the basic
instruction processor.

2) A script is sometimes used to mean a list of operating system commands
that are prestored in a file and performed sequentially by the operating
system's command interpreter whenever the list name is entered as a single
command.

3) Multimedia development programs use "script" to mean the sequence of
instructions that you enter to indicate how a multimedia sequence of files
will be presented (the sequence of images and sounds, their timing, and the
possible results of user interaction).
