Script commands are command you use in scripts.
I know this sounds obvious, but that is really what they are.
Now the problem is, that it all depends on the context in which you use the
term 'scripts'.
As an example.
In the dark ages we had something that used to be called 'batch files'.
There are some specific commands that you can use, like 'set', or 'if' or
'for' etc. These commands were built into the command processor (command.com
for w9x or cmd.exe for nt, 2000/2003, xp)
Along came MS and introduced something called Windows Scripting Host (WSH).
Now WSH is a 'programmer like' language with it's own very specific syntax.
It looks a lot like (a subset) of Visual Basic.
Then there is Visual Basic Scripting (VBS), again with it's peculiarities
and syntax.
Of course we have something called Javascript, with (you guessed), it's own
syntax and ways.
We also have something called Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), with
its own syntax.
And then there is....etc.
As you may have gathered by now, there are many different 'scripting'
languages, that on the one have have a lot in common, but also have
differences in the way they handle things.
Now all of the possible commands and functions available in those languages
are considered to be 'script commands'.
If you want to get famikliar with any one of them, I suggest you either roam
the net for tutorials or get a good book on the subject. (There are plenty
to be found).
