After viewing the Tips, Tricks and Scripts tutorial (all of which are very good) I want to write a script, but it doesn't tell where you go or what window to open to write your script. Can somebody please fill me in? TIA

So after you write the script in notepad, where do you send it? Or does is just sit in the computer and come up when called upon--if you know what I mean. Or, do I just write a script and close notepad and that's it?

I created a \Scripts directory under my \Vegas 4 directory where I keep all my scripts. After you finish writing one, just use the menu option Tools->Scripting->Run Script… and point it to the script you just wrote to run it.
Just save the file somewhere on your hard drive. As JohnnyRoy said, creating a "script" directory (folder) is probably a good idea. You can then store all of your scripts in that folder. After writing the script, choose File - Save As, type in the filename ending with .js and enclose the name in quotes (i.e. "myscript.js") saving it in the folder you created.
In Vegas - Tools, Scripting..., Run Script, browse to that folder, and pick the script to run. If you get an error, just modify the "js" file, save it again, and run it again. Repeat until it works.
