Srcipting help

[dan ick]

O.K i really need help,i have been trying to learn about scripts and have read a few tutorials,but am still unsure about what to do,like when you paste it do yo paste everything on the notepad page where the script is and some of the alterations you have to make also throw me a little bit,If ANYONE could give me some advice/info,PLEASE HELP ME.Also it needs to be simplified as much as poss :-\ I know it cannot be learnt in a few hours but any simple suggestions would be great(suggestions other than tutorials,not unless it is an easy understanding tutorial) ;D

Save the notepad file to Yourname.sqs (make sure it is not Yourname.sqs.txt)
Then open ur mission and put in someone's init field [this] exec Yourname.sqs

Now you run the script

O.K i open the notepad go to save as it then has Filename,Save as type and encoding.I have saved it as impact.sqs as thats what it is called,it then has in the save as type Text documents(*.txt) or all files,what do i do.oh and the encoding is ansi,i am guessing you dont touch the encoding.However i saved it as impact.sqs,Text document(*.txt) and didnt touch the encoding,I then moved what i had saved into my mission folder,and all that was in my mission folder was a readme.Oh and the notepad file i had saved (impact.sqs) was a read me file like the one that was alredy in my mission folder.Please excuse my stupidity. :'(,but i just dont know where i am going wrong.Could someone please tell me the correct way.I really need a simple step explanation starting with what i do when the notepad is open and i have the script in front of me.PLEASE PLEASE ANYONE
