Problem with downloaded scripts

[Excaliber]

I can't seem to find out how to get downloaded scripts to work.
I put it in the mission folder like a lot of them say to and when I am start the mission it says it can't find the script is this due to the fact that I am using GOTY edition or is there somthing else I have to do.

[Triggerhappy]

are you calling the script like this?
[arguments they tell you to use] exec "scriptname.sqs"

scriptname would be replaced with the name of the script, such as when you look at it in a folder

perhaps if you could write how you are calling the script?
